In assembler there are 2 instructions for handling Char to Hex and Hex to Char.
TRTO - Translate Two to One TROT - Translate One to Two It is the TROT instruction I usually use for producing printable HEX, but I think you need the TRTO instruction. Once you have set up the tables it is the simplest I can find. Certainly far easier that the UNPK method of old. Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw https://rsclweb.com ‘Dance like no one is watching.
