Encode and decode files using standard algorithms such as base64,
uuencode and quoted-printable. The library can also be used to
compress and expand files, as well as encrypt or decrypt file data
using AES encryption.

Overview
The Encoding and Compression library provides functions for encoding and
decoding binary files, typically attachments to email messages. The
process of encoding converts the contents of a binary file to
printable 7-bit ASCII text. Decoding reverses the process, converting
a previously encoded text file back into a binary file.
There are two primary types of encoding methods used with various
Internet applications: base64 and uucode.
The base64 algorithm is most commonly used with email attachments, and
is often referred to as MIME encoding since this is the encoding
method specified in the MIME standards document. The uucode algorithm
(so called because the programs to perform the encoding were called
uuencode and uudecode) is often used when attaching binary files to
Usenet newsgroup posts. The library also supports an alternate
encoding format called yEnc which is also widely used to attach files
to Usenet posts.
In addition to encoding and decoding data files, this library
includes functions to compress and expand data, as well as encrypt and
decrypt files using 256-bit AES encryption.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any
programming language which supports calling functions exported from a
standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should
install all updates for your development tools and have the current
Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio
is Visual Studio 2010.
This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for your version of the
operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later
versions of the Windows operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is
recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not
an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
