MIME Types - Base64

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

OK, thanks for describing BinHex, now can somebody tell me how Base64 works ?
I know that it is used for non-text (8-bit files) and presumably encodes 8
bytes or 6 bits at a time, or something similiar. Stuffit Expander is freeware
and opens most mime files, hqx, sit, zip, arc, arj, uue and lots more. It is
available for most platforms as well so I personally recommend it for people
having trouble with encoding and archives (and they did NOT pay me to say
that).

Have you guys writing the compression algorithms got anything to compete with
zip that has built-in error correcting & CRC etc ?

Daniel
