+** 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.
+** 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...
+**
