          I downloaded freeware after a Google search to play around with this.  There were as I recall several products available.  You may need to pay a little for something that runs on your OS, but Linux and Windows were readily available.  I cannot recall which one I loaded, so no help there.

          Hope this helps,

            Roman,

            The tcllib provided with Cloverleaf has a base-64 package that will allow encoding and decoding base-64.

            You should be able to construct Tcl code for any of the UPoCs or in an Xlate to accomodate.

              Roman, this might be a two step process.

              In tcl you can use  set b64 [base64::decode $msg] to get the decoded base64 msg.

              Once you have the .RTF file, I’m using a windows tool to convert .RTF to .TXT from http://www.ultrashareware.com/Ultra-PDF-To-Text-Converter.htm

              I like this tool b/c it was inexpensive and I can run it in a batch mode.

              good luck
