ascii85 - encodes or decodes files using Ascii85 ruby library

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<ascii85> [I<OPTIONS>] I<FILES>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Ascii85 (also called "Base85") is a form of binary-to-text encoding, which is
mainly used in Adobe's PostScript and PDF format. 

B<ascii85> is a command line utility, modeled after base64(1) from the GNU
coreutils, can encode text files to Ascii85 or decode Ascii85 files to text,
and then print the result to the standard output.

If no file is given on the command line, B<ascii85> reads from the standard input.
