base64 is a relatively simple algorithm, google for it and you'll find a
lot of explanations.  alternatively you can use the yencode algorithm,
which might come in handy for embedded work since it yields a smaller
encoded size.  you can read the quick and dirty rfc by the developers at:

http://www.yenc.org/yenc-draft.1.3.txt

which explains the algorithm in detail.

Hope that helps,

Michael
