Re: uuencoded

Warren,

Although UUENCODE and BASE64 are not the same, there is some similarity and 
newer versions of UUENCODE have the ability to output to BASE64.  If you have 
any control of the image production process, you might be able to output them 
in BASE64, then you can use the base64Decode command in LiveCode.  

If not: I've never tried decoding a uuencoded file with base64Decode, but it 
wouldn't hurt to give it a try.  (I don't think base64Decode will decode 
uuencoded files, but it's possible that the uuencoded files could actually be 
BASE64.)  If this fails, you could shell an external command.  For example, in 
Mac OS X there are built in commands uuencode and uudecode.

Good luck,
John

 Thanks for any help,

John,

Thanks for the explanation.  I was just if there were similarities
between UUENCODE and BASE64.  Unfortunately these are UUENCODE files.
I think I found a open source that will take care of the UUENCODE and
even yENC which I will require as well.  Am testing it now.

All the best!

Warren
