/*
** Routines to represent binary data in ASCII and vice-versa
**
** This module currently supports the following encodings:
** uuencode:
**     	each line encodes 45 bytes (except possibly the last)
**	First char encodes (binary) length, rest data
**	each char encodes 6 bits, as follows:
**	binary: 01234567 abcdefgh ijklmnop
**	ascii:  012345 67abcd efghij klmnop
**	ASCII encoding method is "excess-space": 000000 is encoded as ' ', etc.
**	short binary data is zero-extended (so the bits are always in the
**	right place), this does *not* reflect in the length.
** base64:
**      Line breaks are insignificant, but lines are at most 76 chars
**      each char encodes 6 bits, in similar order as uucode/hqx. Encoding
**      is done via a table.
**      Short binary data is filled (in ASCII) with '='.
** hqx:
**	File starts with introductory text, real data starts and ends
**	with colons.
**	Data consists of three similar parts: info, datafork, resourcefork.
**	Each part is protected (at the end) with a 16-bit crc
**	The binary data is run-length encoded, and then ascii-fied:
**	binary: 01234567 abcdefgh ijklmnop
**	ascii:  012345 67abcd efghij klmnop
**	ASCII encoding is table-driven, see the code.
**	Short binary data results in the runt ascii-byte being output with
**	the bits in the right place.
**
** While I was reading dozens of programs that encode or decode the formats
** here (documentation? hihi:-) I have formulated Jansen's Observation:
**
**	Programs that encode binary data in ASCII are written in
**	such a style that they are as unreadable as possible. Devices used
**	include unnecessary global variables, burying important tables
**	in unrelated sourcefiles, putting functions in include files,
**	using seemingly-descriptive variable names for different purposes,
**	calls to empty subroutines and a host of others.
**
** I have attempted to break with this tradition, but I guess that that
** does make the performance sub-optimal. Oh well, too bad...
**
** Jack Jansen, CWI, July 1995.
