Hey guys,
If this is considered spam, I apologize, and I'll remove the post immediately. I don't see any other posts here showing off new, free, open source software, so I'm a little wary of posting this, but perhaps it will help someone.
I'm kind of a nerd and have weird hobbies. One of those hobbies is to develop a base64 utility for every platform that I can get my hands (and dev tools) on.
I've developed a Base64 Decode / Encoder for iOS, Mac, Windows, BeOS, Rhapsody and now OPENSTEP.
All source code is available, except iOS. You are free to use or modify the source as you see fit.
If you have any questions about OPENSTEP dev, I'd be happy to help as well. It would be amazing to see more new software for such a great platform.
The link to all source is

hi,
the program looks simple, but great ! Do you plan ports to other Operating Systems (maybe a QNX, OS/2 or MacOS Classic port) ?
Which version made the most amount of work ?
What additions do you plan ?
With regards,
Martin
Indeed it is simple, but it lets me cut my teeth on a variety of different development environments.
I've ported the Mac version to MacRuby, which was interesting. I've yet to post the source to it though.
I think a Mac Classic port was be awesome, but finding the dev tools is seriously difficult. I have a MacOS 9.0.4 setup in Sheepshaver, but the dev tools are hard to find.
QNX is also seriously interesting! I think that OS/2 would be awesome, but, again, I bet the dev tools would be very difficult to find.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Josh
No problem !
For the Mac Classic Port use can use the freely available MPW !
There's also Codewarrior available for the MacOS Classic !
QNX is also completely freely available for non-commercial purposes !
You can get a time-unrestricted license at their homepage !
For OS/2, there's Borland C++ 2.0 freely available under:
http://wdl1.winworldpc.com/Abandonware%20Applications/OS2/Borland%20C++%202.0.7z.OS/2's API is very similar to that of Windows, except that Windows Functions are prefixed by 'Win' (ie. CreateWindow under Windows, and
WinCreateWindow under OS/2) if i recall correctly.
Lots of fun,
