It worked out much better in a post from April when I slowed down enough to
think about what I was doing. ;)

>From the MC list archives:


on SuckUp
  answer file "Select a file:"
  if it is empty then exit to top
  put url ("binfile:"&it) into s
  put compress(s) into s
  -- Convert to ASCII:
  put base64encode(s) into s
  -- Remove returns:
  replace cr with "<RETURN_PLACEHOLDER>" in s
  set the script of fld 1 to s
end SuckUp

on SpitOut
  ask file "Name new file:"
  if it is empty then exit to top
  put the script of fld 1 into s
  replace "<RETURN_PLACEHOLDER>" with cr in s
  put base64decode(s) into s
  put decompress(s) into s
  set the filetype to "MSIEWAFF" -- I tested with an IE page archive
  put s into url ("binfile:"&it)
end SpitOut
