- Has anyone managed to atob this successfully?
-
- I downloaded it (yes, in binary mode) from sunsite.unc.edu (files part0[1-5].Z
- and part06], uncompressed the compressed files, removed the leading text of
- each file (mostly newsheaders) with an editor, concatenated the results
- (without intervening blank lines) and fed them to atob, which complained
- "unexpected end of file". (Yes, the last line of the last file was the btoa
- checksum line.)
-
- I have successfully atob'ed multi-part downloaded files on other occasions by
- this method.
