This tool is available for AIX 4.3, OSF/1 v4.0D, Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6), Solaris 8, and Windows NT 4.0.
Syntax
To run the ASCII to Binary tool, type the following command:AtoB[.bat] <input_file> <output_file>
- .bat specifies the file extension; this is required only when running the utility on a Windows NT system.
- <input_file> specifies the path to the file that contains the base-64 encoded data in ASCII format.
- <output_file> specifies the path to the file to write the base-64 encoded data in binary format.
