That’s impressively small Geoff!
Jeff Atwood is one of the main guys behind this Discourse software and Coding Horror. He had a C# class that looked good to me, so I converted that to Clarion last night. It handles Whitespace, the Prefix / Suffix, line breaking on output. It did not support the ‘y’ for spaces, but that’s not part of the Adobe Ascii85 standard. Would be easy to add, but needs to be optional.
I know it converts the Wikipedia ASCII 85 example:
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason, but by this singular passion from other animals, which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continued and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
