Create a document node from base64 encoding?

Hello all!Is it possible to create a document node in livelink, having a string which is the base64 encoding of a file (in the request)? If not, can you suggest any alternatives?By the way, I have noticed that the STR package has the ToBase64 and FromBase64 functions. What is the point of encoding/decoding a string using base64? Isn't base64 intended for encoding binary information?This is very important for our work. Any help will be greately appriciated! Thanks in advance!Yiannos

You should be able to encode a node within livelink using the functions defined in the STR package. Base64 encoding is as you rightly mentioned for binary files being transferred or rendered over a network. I am pretty sure you should be able to get this done using DAPI.
