BIgMAth from base64 encoded string

529432Feb 12 2007 — edited Feb 13 2007
I'm trying to create a BigInteger from a source that is a base64 encoded string. The BigInteger seems to only support radix up to 36. I have a couple of questions.

1) Why does BigInteger not support higher radix?

2) Anyone have any advice on how to manually make the BigInteger from a base64 string? Obviously I can change the encoding myself to a lower radix, but I thought someone might have a better idea?

Thanks,
Chad
