Short: Base64 (68k+PPC), including source Author: John Walker, Andreas R. Kleinert (port) Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert t-online de Type: util/arc Architecture: m68k-amigaos; ppc-powerup A port of the base64 encoder/decoder by John Walker for Amiga 68k and powerUP (TM) PPC systems Usage: For information on usage, simply call the program as follows: base64 -? 68k binary is called "base64" and useable from Shell. The same applies to the "base64.elf" PPC binary when being used with ppc.library V46+ What had to be done for the port ? Mainly adding the makefile plus this readme. For more information on the program, i.e. a manual page, take a look at the original author's homepage under: http://www.fourmilab.ch -- ARK, 27/Aug/98 ************************************************************************************* ************************************************************************************* Note: In the past, some guy called "SPH" took most of my free PPC ports (those where the sources have been included) and ported them to WOS. While I've nothing against WOS ports, an other point is very distasteful and unfair in my opinion: removing all references to my name and initials and simply replacing those with his own, while also removing all references to PPC-Lib/ELF and replacing those with WOS references and usually some flames or even offenses against the competing kernel and porter - without actually rewriting the readme text itself in a major way (for example, if I describe what *I* specifically did for the port - and what he didn't have to do a *second* time, of course - he does not even remove/change *those* notes and/or give me credit). This leads to the strange situation, that I hereby have to copyright this .readme text, to claim its authorship and forbid changes which aren't clearly marked as being changes to the original: While quotes may have been derived from other parts of the distribution, the whole .readme as such now is (C)opyrighted by Andreas R. Kleinert in 1998. Copyrights to the other files remain as such. Nevertheless I'd ask anyone to give me credit for the changes which I did myself and which of course have been labeled/marked/documented as such. Even free software lives from respecting the intellectual work and property of others. Thank you. ************************************************************************************* *************************************************************************************
