I have it working now, but I have noticed that if the length of string is
not a multiple of 3, it crashes.

Is there a way of adapting a string with a length that is not a multiple of
3 to allow it to encode, but yet
decode it back to the original string?

The other part is I want to pass the int64 in binary form.

Will a pointer to the integer and setting the length to copy to 8 be the
right approach?

i.e

Encoder.CopyFrom(P^.Integer64Value, 8)

Of course the 8 will generate an error.
