uuencode
Is the an inexpensive, (or even better free) control to perform a uuencode? If not, can I do it manually in code(VB5)? I would rather not shell out to a dos app.
The code would be worth more points.

Oops! Spoke too soon. Thought I had that online, guess I don't! Sorry.
Anyway, uuencode/decode is basically converting three binary bytes into four ASCII bytes. You take 24 bits (3x8) and parcel them out into four, six bit groups. Then you add an offset to make them all printable ASCII and block into lines. Is not hard and I was able to find discussion and source on web without much effort.

Great, I'll test it at home, and award the points.
MoMarvi,
Did you try the code??

I haven't tried it yet, but am taking your word on it.
I've added point for the code, as I said I would.
