NAME
     base64tool - encode files into Base64 encoding and decode Base64  encoded
     files



SYNOPSIS
     base64tool <encode|decode> <input> <output> [maxlen]



DESCRIPTION

     This program can either encode a file with  Base64  encoding  suited  for
     inclusion  of  binary  data  into text files such as XML files and decode
     Base64 encoded data back into  its  original  form.  The  first  argument
     controls whether base64tool will encode or decode. The second argument is
     name of the file that data is read from. The third argument is  the  name
     of the file that output is written to. The file will be overwritten if it
     exists.

     When encoding an optional fourth parameter, maxlen, specifies the maximum
     line length to output. It defaults to 72 if left out.
