I'm posting this message on behalf of a programmer in India, where USENET
isn't available.   btoa and atob are a pair of filters for encoding from
binary to ascii and back and are used to transmit binary files by mail.
The code for btoa and atob, I believe, are in the public domain.
Btoa (which converts from binary to ascii) compiles and runs correctly on
our machines.   Atob compiles but doesn't work.  The problem seems to be
with a right shift operation that Apollo's C compiler does differently.

  I'd appreciate your replying direct to G.M. Shenoy
(shenoy%agni.uucp@uunet.uu.net, ...!uunet!shakti!agni!shenoy) who's asked
me to post this message.

thanks
