Example

<!------------------------------------------------------------------

This example shows the use of IsBinary. It assumes that another 

page in a syndication program passed this page the value of the 

variable data_var, which can hold character or binary data. This 

example checks whether data_var is binary; if so, it converts the 

data to Base64 data.

<!------------------------------------------------------------------

Check whether syndicated data is in binary form, and if it is, 

converts it to Base64 so it can be viewed as printable characters.
