Pete,

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

It works beautifully now! The Euphoria client application goes out onto
the internet and requests a list of files from the Euphoria server
application. The user can select which files he wants, then clicks a
button and those files are brought to his machine. This is all being done
via HTTP with Apache and some Euphoria programs.

The server program uses encode64() to send the binary file, then the
client uses decode64() to write it to disk.

Is it normal for the encoded file to be larger than the actual file?

Thanks again, Pete!!!
