I am aware that Base64 has been discussed recently, but have not been
following the threads.

I have been sent a message with an appended file encoded in Base64,
whatever that is when it's at home. My questions are very simple, so I
hope the answers are too!

(1) What utility(ies) do I need to decode such files?
(2) Where can I find it (them)?

Thanks!
