----------------------------------------------------------------------- [snip] Of course, this does suggest several potential improvements... Add 'command' forms of compress and base64decode which work very much like convert. Perhaps a general 'decode' / 'encode' command for encoding / decoding filters: decode tVar using ( base64 | ascii85 | ... ) encode tVar using base64 And a compress / decompress pair for that sort of operation: compress tVar using ( deflate | bzip2 | gzip | ... ) These would then allow greater control over parameters to the filters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you find these additions useful for your current or future development work in this platform, please add your own comments to this request: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10594 Thanks in advance!
