(C) Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.Encode method

Shows how to replace the deprecated Encode method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    CkByteData_loadFile(inData,path);

    encodedBytes = CkCrypt2_encode(crypt,inData,encoding);

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    bd = CkBinData_Create();

    CkCrypt2_Dispose(crypt);
    CkByteData_Dispose(inData);
    CkBinData_Dispose(bd);
