For the record, I think it's completely insane that .plt files are
base64 encoded. Sure you can store them base64 encoded in a database, if
the database has poor data separation boundaries, but once you retrieve
them and put them into a file, it should be just decoded binary data.
It's entirely possible for a file to contain arbitrary binary data, so
using base64 to limit the range of bytes used on top of an existing
filesystem is redundant and silly. An 800K file could be a 640K file,
with no risk of end of file information being in the middle of it.
