convert_uuencode — Uuencode a string
convert_uuencode() encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm.
Uuencode translates all strings (including binary data) into printable characters, making them safe for network transmissions. Uuencoded data is about 35% larger than the original.
Note: convert_uuencode() neither produces the
begin
