Code 64

About Code 64

Code 64 translates binary files to plain text and back. This is used primarily for transmitting binary files through old-fashioned e-mail systems, which are incapable of handling binary files.

Note to Win 95/NT/98/2000/ME/XP users: Code 64 was written and compiled on a Win 3.1 computer, therefore it does not support long filenames. When entering a long filename manually, you must use the XXXXXX~1.EXT format.

About Base 64

Using Code 64

Select a file to base 64 Encode or Decode by typing the filename in the text entry field, or browse the files on your disk by clicking the "Browse" button.

Once you have done so, you are ready to encode or decode the file. If the file you have selected is encoded already, and you wish to translate it back to a binary file, click the "Decode" button. If you have selected a binary file you wish to translate into plain text format, click the "Encode" button.

It is important, when decoding base 64 encoded files, that the first line of the file contains "Content-type: type/subtype; charset=US-ASCII; name=filename.ext"; the second line contains "Content-transfer-encoding: base64"; and the last line ends with an equals sign ("=").

CAUTION: When you encode files with Code 64, it automatically creates a file with a .B64 extension. If there is already a file with the same base name and a .B64 extension in the same directory, Code 64 will overwrite it.
