Thank you for clarifying this mystery. FYI: ascii 0x02 is STX = Start of Text It is used by many devices that communicate over RS232 to demark the beginning if a message. This code is used to parse messages from such devices and so the character is sprinkled all through it. Other such codes freuently used are: 1 001 01 00000001 SOH Start of Heading 2 002 02 00000010 STX Start of Text 3 003 03 00000011 ETX End of Text 4 004 04 00000100 EOT End of Transmission James _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
