Codepage error on Windows about base64 HOT 2 CLOSED

bin/base64 is a demo program that shows how to integrate the base64 library into a program. It is not intended for production use and it is not intended to be cross-platform. It's a demo. Furthermore, Windows 7 is obsolete and support from Microsoft ended over four years ago.

I'm not going to update a demo program to work on an obsolete platform. If anyone wants to contribute a patch, I can review it.

This bug is reproduced under Windows 10 and 11. But the fact that you are trying to avoid investigating the well-documented bug says more about your self-confidence than about Microsoft. After all, we can all miss something, but only lazybones and laymen insist on leaving the omission as it is. In fact, this is a chance to expand your knowledge in the field of cross-platform development.
