File module provides functions <CODE>HTUU_encode()</CODE> and
<CODE>HTUU_decode()</CODE> which convert a buffer of bytes to/from RFC
1113 printable encoding format.

This technique is similar to the familiar Unix uuencode format in that
it maps 6 binary bits to one ASCII character (or more aptly, 3 binary
bytes to 4 ASCII characters).  However, RFC 1113 does not use the same
mapping to printable characters as uuencode. <P>

This module is implemented by <A HREF="HTUU.c">HTUU.c</A>, and it is a
part of the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Library/"> W3C
Sample Code Library</A>.
