OT:Encoding


From: starlord@ptw.com (Slc.Dennis Bishop)

 As everyone whos on the photo list is here too, I'll post this
here. I sent a photo to the list today, and of the people who
said they got it, ONE was able to view it just fine.

 My Atari TT/030 uses the DEFAULT encoding of the Internets, this
means everything I send out as an attached file if not a plain
text file, is UUECODED and to see them all you need to do is have
a program that de codes UUECODED files.

 Not until Bill Gates and his MS outfit showed up did the base 64
encoding show up and that's another of his evil scams.

 Yet this 8 year old 32mhz 32bit/bus machine can still decode
anything sent to it.

 All that text code you folks saw, will, I see the very same
thing when I get a base 64 encoded file, only it just takes a
mouse click for me to decode it and store it.
