'  UU encode:
s2 = crypt.EncodeString(s1,"ansi","uu")

'  Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
'  to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

outFile.WriteLine(s2)

'  UU decode:
set crypt2 = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
s3 = crypt2.DecodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

'  Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

outFile.WriteLine(s3)

'  Show the file permissions mode and filename found
'  in the UU encoded data:
outFile.WriteLine("UuMode = " & crypt2.UuMode)
outFile.WriteLine("UuFilename = " & crypt2.UuFilename)
