LC7 arrayEncode/Decode

[Peter Haworth]

I haven't come across that yet but probably because I base64 encode the
array as well as array encode it and don't write to the file in binary mode.

Which raises another question.  I'm converting the app to 7.0 to be unicode
compliant.  The data in the array will have been textDecoded format. Do I
need to textEncode it before base64/arrayencoding it?
