Yes, but.. I would like a library that handles various types of encoding/decoding with the "same" interface. Encodings that come to mind: base-64, url, html, radix-64, base-16, base-32, custom base-x alphabet table, base-36, base-62, and so on.

If it's more than base-64, yes, it could be a Boost library.

PS. Yes, I do realize you said you would want to concentrate on base64 only. But it's the concepts of encoding/decoding for arbitrary kinds what would interest me. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supone Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
