%
% Encodes an ascii file using a Reed-Solomon coder. The input file is
% defined by @var{in} and the result is written to the output file @var{out}.
% The type of coding to use is determined by whether the input file is 7-
% or 8-bit. If the input file is 7-bit, the default coding is [127,117].
% while the default coding for an 8-bit file is a [255, 235]. This allows
% for 5 or 10 error characters in 127 or 255 symbols to be corrected
% respectively. The number of errors that can be corrected can be overridden
% by the variable @var{t}.
%
% If the file is not an integer multiple of the message size (127 or 255)
% in length, then the file is padded with the EOT (ascii character 4)
% characters before coding. Whether these characters are written to the
% output is defined by the @var{pad} variable. Valid values for @var{pad}
% are 'pad' (the default) and 'nopad', which write or not the padding
% respectively.
