[BROKEN?] mmencode.exe

Hello All! mmencode.exe builds fine under 21.2-b5 (and 21.2-b{59,60}) but does not seem to work right under 21.2-b5 at least. Below is the output of some experiments I did: find-file sorted-doc.exe mark-whole-buffer base64-encode-region write-file sorted-doc.64intern (add newline? no) leads the file shown below. Decoding that buffer internally with base64-decode-region write-file sorted-doc.intern leads a somewhat bigger file than sorted-doc.exe. Could this be a CRLF vs. NL problem on Windows NT native? This was the good part! Using ./mmencode -b -o sorted-doc.64 sorted-doc.exe leads a file way too small. Who knows why? I tried protable-newlines mode which fails too: ./mmencode -p -b -o sorted-doc.64p sorted-doc.exe c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.2-b5\i386-pc-win32: total 4924 -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerA 5 4918 Dec 15 00:36 sorted-doc.64 -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerA 5 42696 Dec 15 00:56 sorted-doc.64intern -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerA 5 4934 Dec 15 00:37 sorted-doc.64p -rwxrwxrwx 1 AichnerA 5 31232 Dec 14 12:19 sorted-doc.exe -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerA 5 31322 Dec 15 00:57 sorted-doc.intern Is anybody inserting base64 attachments successfully in XEmacs21.2-b5/"Gnus v5.6.44" under WindowsNT native?
