BTOA         
Binary TO ASCII (Reference: ASCII)
btoa         
<tool, messaging, algorithm, file format> /B too A/ A binary to ASCII conversion utility. btoa is a uuencode or base 64 equivalent which addresses some of the problems with the uuencode standard but not as many as the base 64 standard. It avoids problems that some hosts have with spaces (e.g. conversion of groups of spaces to tabs) by not including them in its character set, but may still have problems on non-ASCII systems (e.g. EBCDIC). btoa is primarily used to transfer binary files between systems across connections which are not eight-bit clean, e.g. electronic mail. btoa takes adjacent sets of four binary octets and encodes them as five ASCII octets using ASCII characters '!' through to 'u'. Special characters are also used: 'x' marks the beginning or end of the archive; 'z' marks four consecutive zeros and 'y' (version 5.2) four consecutive spaces. Each group of four octets is processed as a 32-bit integer. Call this 'I'. Let 'D' = 85^4. Divide I by D. Call this result 'R'. Make I = I - (R * D) to avoid overflow on the next step. Repeat, for values of D = 85^3, 85^2, 85 and 1. At each step, to convert R to the output character add decimal 33 (output octet = R + ASCII value for '!'). Five output octets are produced. btoa provides some integrity checking in the form of a line checksum, and facilities for patching corrupted downloads. The algorithm used by btoa is more efficient than uuencode or base 64. ASCII files are encoded to about 120% the size of their binary sources. This compares with 135% for uuencode or base 64. btoa-5.2/">C source (ftp://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk/hpux/Misc/btoa-5.2/). (version 5.2 - btoa1994). Pre-compiled MS-DOS versions are also available.

Ascii85

Ascii85, also called Base85, is a form of binary-to-text encoding developed by Paul E. Rutter for the btoa utility. By using five ASCII characters to represent four bytes of binary data (making the encoded size 14 larger than the original, assuming eight bits per ASCII character), it is more efficient than uuencode or Base64, which use four characters to represent three bytes of data (13 increase, assuming eight bits per ASCII character).

Its main modern uses are in Adobe's PostScript and Portable Document Format file formats, as well as in the patch encoding for binary files used by Git.
