The base64 code is fairly simple. It is not expected to be modified except to correct bugs or make it more compatible with vanilla ANSI compilers. As it stands, the code compiles without warnings and passes unit test in more than one environment.
I am hoping if you read this and you are a C programmer that you will take a little time to get the source, compile and unit test and post a message as to the results you obtained.
Barring errors found by anyone else, I will upgrade the code to release after finishing compile and unit test in the SourceForge compile farm.
Thanks!

I'm on Windows XP. I compiled with MinGW (gcc version 4.5.0) and msys. Seems to work fine.
I was trying to dig an .ics file out of a Google Mail message since we're stuck using Google Mail at work.
I used the Show Original to get the original e-mail message. I copied just the binary part of the .ics to a file
and ran the b64 program over it. It turned it into a standard .ics file readable as ASCII text. I had to be sure to just
put the binary part in the file. Leaving the header information in (such as Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding)
before and after that, caused it to output garbage.
Program appears to work well on Windows. Thank you very much for sharing the source code with others.

Hi,
I'm running RedHat Linux 7.1 with GCC version 2.96 on Kernel version 2.4.2-2 with glibc 2.2.2-10.
I found three small problems that I reported in the bug tracking database.
Thanks for making this public.

Jim,
Thanks. I am much obliged. I've made corrections and will post shortly.
