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

    Debug s2

        ProcedureReturn
    EndIf

    s3 = CkCrypt2::ckDecodeString(crypt2,s2,"ansi","uu")

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

    Debug s3

    ; Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    ; in the UU encoded data:
    Debug "UuMode = " + CkCrypt2::ckUuMode(crypt2)
