Re: encodings, base-64, etc.1991-10-30 14:02:04I have to agree with Craig for similiar reasons. Base-64 provides an effective mechanism but how do you know if it really worked....use a checksum. If you play games with optional checksums and the like...we end up rehashing the old ethernet days of optional checksums. Someone who should be doing it will not do it and many people will spend time chasing problems down. It is unfortunate that good follow up thinking is viewed by some on this list as "dangerous late entry ideas". -Rudy
