Example

// The example outlines base 64 encoding and decoding of files.
// A PRG file is encoded in a second file which is decoded into
// a third file. The contents of the original and third file are
// identical.

   PROCEDURE Main
       LOCAL cFileIn  := "HB_Base64.prg"
       LOCAL cFileOut := "HB_Base64.enc"

       HB_Base64EncodeFile( cFileIn, cFileOut )

       HB_Base64DecodeFile( cFileOut, "Test.txt" )

       ? Memoread( cFileIn ) == MemoRead( "Test.txt" ) // Result: .T.
