FreeAgent : decodes uue-encoded binaries (the ones that start out "begin44...", : but does not decode base64-encoded binaries (the ones that start out : "/9j/...", or whatever). If you like FreeAgent (and who doesn't?), go : ahead and get the latest version of Agent, which DOES decode all : binary picture files, including base64. It has a lot more features : than FreeAgent, and is a bargain, price-wise. If you don't want to do : that, let me know and I'll send you a small but efficient Base64 : decoder which you can use to manually decode the Base64 files you save : to disk.
