@B85TOBIN — Decodes a base-85 string into a binary buffer.

Syntax:
%@B85TOBIN[handle,start,string]

handlethe handle to a binary buffer, as returned by @BALLOC
startthe offset in bytes to which to begin decoding; defaults to 0
stringa base-85 encoded string as returned by @BINTOB85

This function decodes a base-85 string returned by @BINTOB85 and stores the resulting data in a binary buffer. Note that there is no option to control the number of bytes written; the entire string is decoded and written to the buffer. If there is any error in decoding the string, no change will be made to the binary buffer.

Note that the two commas between parameters are both required. You must supply both commas even if you omit the optional start value.

The return value is the number of bytes written to the buffer.
