help: encoding binary data in XML

[Florin Popescu]

I want to add that I need the output file to be readable. I can have for
example 4GL proc code
in the database and I want to edit the XML file, to modify this proc and to
imported back.

So, the point is if I convert the data before writing in the output file,
this encoding should
keep the text readable.
