Bug#174346: O: btoa -- Convert binary to ascii and vice versa

[Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The old maintainer of btoa, Nicolás Lichtmaier (nick), is apparently
not active anymore.  This package is thus being orphaned now.  If you
want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this bug from
'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new version with
your name in the Maintainer: field and a

   * New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)

in the changelog so this bug is closed.

Description: Convert binary to ascii and vice versa
 Btoa converts 4 binary characters to 5 ascii ones, causing a 25%
 expansion. Spaces will not be used, which should make it safe
 to send files over Usenet without risking that blanks become
 tabs.


[ Justification: he has not been seen for months.  He was last seen on Debian
lists in Oct 2001; he was on ICQ but isn't anymore.  I hope you're well, Nick. ]
