SilkCode is the new SCOS2 replacement, allowing also binary
data to be encoded.

If it allows binary data to be encoded, it singularly fails to be a
SCOS2 replacement. SCOS2 was designed only to encode only printable
ASCII for use in an ASCII-only medium such as Usenet; anything that
encodes anything else fails to meet SCOS2's design goals and therefore
fails to be a replacement.

Call your program what you will and use it for whatever you will, but do
not claim for it properties that it palpably fails to hold.

 Like it or not, it is called SilkCode

Call it what you will. It's a free Net.

and I do see it as a modern
replacement for SCOS2, in a text based medium, like Usenet. :-)

Then you see it incorrectly. It is, of course, your prerogative to be wrong.

I know it pi*#$% you off, but I do not care, because pears taste
better than bananas. :-)

Clearly not the case.

Have a nice day! :-)

And you, sir. :-)
