    // UU encode:
    s2 = crypt.EncodeString(s1,"ansi","uu");

    // Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
    // to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

    console.log(s2);

    // UU decode:
    var crypt2 = new chilkat.Crypt2();
    s3 = crypt2.DecodeString(s2,"ansi","uu");

    // Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

    console.log(s3);

    // Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    // in the UU encoded data:
    console.log("UuMode = " + crypt2.UuMode);
    console.log("UuFilename = " + crypt2.UuFilename);
