When working with postscript files sometimes the need arises to work with ascii85 encoded strings as described in the Postscript Language Reference Manual. Here is an implementation on pure Tcl for inclusion on tcllib. | |||

The first problem noted: ascii85::checkrange contains a [return -level] command, which is an 8.5 feature. Solution is either to remove it, or make the package dependant on 8.5, in which case some code could be simplified using newer features ( unsingned [binary scan]s, "in" operator, etc) egavilan added on 2010-04-28 02:53:03: File Added - 372035: ascii85.tgz | |||
