  I didn't realize until I re-read it that you actually had
posted a working script. Thanks. But I don't see why you think
it's better. All those external functions seem clunky to me.
If I want base-64 code that's portable then it's easy enough
to put mine in a class.

  But I think that's really just a matter of personal preference.
I also don't like the method of mashing multiple operations
together in order to have less lines of code. It's hard to read.
Things like With CreateObject(... just encourage bad coding,
while providing no advantage. And it leaves to option to
explicitly dereference.

  But I know some people prefer it. There's no accounting
for taste. :)

 Speed:

  On a 25 MB file my code encodes
in .7 seconds and decodes in .8 seconds. Yours, with
the same file, takes 1.0 and 5.28 seconds respectively.
The lag is mostly in BytesToString. You didn't try this code,
I gather?

  I tried taking the loop out of BytesToString, thinking
that maybe ADODB wouldn't be so slow converting its
own stream to a string. But that was horrendous. On
the 25 MB file I finally just killed the process after
a couple of minutes.
