/*
** Routines to represent binary data in ASCII and vice-versa
**
** This module currently supports the following encodings:
** uuencode:
**      each line encodes 45 bytes (except possibly the last)
**      First char encodes (binary) length, rest data
**      each char encodes 6 bits, as follows:
**      binary: 01234567 abcdefgh ijklmnop
**      ascii:  012345 67abcd efghij klmnop
**      ASCII encoding method is "excess-space": 000000 is encoded as ' ', etc.
**      short binary data is zero-extended (so the bits are always in the
**      right place), this does *not* reflect in the length.
** base64:
**      Line breaks are insignificant, but lines are at most 76 chars
**      each char encodes 6 bits, in similar order as uucode/hqx. Encoding
**      is done via a table.
**      Short binary data is filled (in ASCII) with '='.
** hqx:
**      File starts with introductory text, real data starts and ends
**      with colons.
**      Data consists of three similar parts: info, datafork, resourcefork.
**      Each part is protected (at the end) with a 16-bit crc
**      The binary data is run-length encoded, and then ascii-fied:
**      binary: 01234567 abcdefgh ijklmnop
**      ascii:  012345 67abcd efghij klmnop
**      ASCII encoding is table-driven, see the code.
**      Short binary data results in the runt ascii-byte being output with
**      the bits in the right place.
**
** While I was reading dozens of programs that encode or decode the formats
** here (documentation? hihi:-) I have formulated Jansen's Observation:
**
**      Programs that encode binary data in ASCII are written in
**      such a style that they are as unreadable as possible. Devices used
**      include unnecessary global variables, burying important tables
**      in unrelated sourcefiles, putting functions in include files,
**      using seemingly-descriptive variable names for different purposes,
**      calls to empty subroutines and a host of others.
**
** I have attempted to break with this tradition, but I guess that that
** does make the performance sub-optimal. Oh well, too bad...
**
** Jack Jansen, CWI, July 1995.
**
** Added support for quoted-printable encoding, based on rfc 1521 et al
** quoted-printable encoding specifies that non printable characters (anything
** below 32 and above 126) be encoded as =XX where XX is the hexadecimal value
** of the character.  It also specifies some other behavior to enable 8bit data
** in a mail message with little difficulty (maximum line sizes, protecting
** some cases of whitespace, etc).

 Copyright (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown.  You may use this program, or
 code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.

 First, the polynomial itself and its table of feedback terms.  The
 polynomial is
 X^32+X^26+X^23+X^22+X^16+X^12+X^11+X^10+X^8+X^7+X^5+X^4+X^2+X^1+X^0
 Note that we take it "backwards" and put the highest-order term in
 the lowest-order bit.  The X^32 term is "implied"; the LSB is the
 X^31 term, etc.  The X^0 term (usually shown as "+1") results in
 the MSB being 1.

 Note that the usual hardware shift register implementation, which
 is what we're using (we're merely optimizing it by doing eight-bit
 chunks at a time) shifts bits into the lowest-order term.  In our
 implementation, that means shifting towards the right.  Why do we
 do it this way?  Because the calculated CRC must be transmitted in
 order from highest-order term to lowest-order term.  UARTs transmit
 characters in order from LSB to MSB.  By storing the CRC this way,
 we hand it to the UART in the order low-byte to high-byte; the UART
 sends each low-bit to hight-bit; and the result is transmission bit
 by bit from highest- to lowest-order term without requiring any bit
 shuffling on our part.  Reception works similarly.

 The feedback terms table consists of 256, 32-bit entries.  Notes:

  1. The table can be generated at runtime if desired; code to do so
     is shown later.  It might not be obvious, but the feedback
     terms simply represent the results of eight shift/xor opera-
     tions for all combinations of data and CRC register values.

  2. The CRC accumulation logic is the same for all CRC polynomials,
     be they sixteen or thirty-two bits wide.  You simply choose the
     appropriate table.  Alternatively, because the table can be
     generated at runtime, you can start by generating the table for
     the polynomial in question and use exactly the same "updcrc",
     if your application needn't simultaneously handle two CRC
     polynomials.  (Note, however, that XMODEM is strange.)

  3. For 16-bit CRCs, the table entries need be only 16 bits wide;
     of course, 32-bit entries work OK if the high 16 bits are zero.

  4. The values must be right-shifted by eight bits by the "updcrc"
     logic; the shift must be unsigned (bring in zeroes).  On some
     hardware you could probably optimize the shift in assembler by
     using byte-swap instructions.
