As a gift to the net, I have written a new improved binary encoder which
is going to be released soon.

It uses non-whitespace, printable characters only, but that's not enough.
I am told that sometimes travelling through IBM machines (bitnet etc.)
maps tilde ~ to ^.  Are there any other perils like this I should be
wary of, before release?  Is the tilde problem real or isolated?

Thanks.
