Wow. Exciting for an old Dinosaur to actually be able to contribute something.
The HxD Hex Editor https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ (or many other places). Or perhaps another PC based Hex editor can be SO very useful when dealing with finding out just what the heck is actually in ASCII, or EBCDIC, or any other. It has helped resolve a lot of problems for me including figuring out how to incorporate special characters in passwords when using foreign language keyboards. Hint: if you use special chars in your passwords they will NOT translate to the same chars, or keyboard locations if you try to use them on a computer overseas, so choose them carefully. You may lose your smartphone/notebook and be forced to use whatever you can find. -Just waiting here to hit the EPO switch for the mainframe. ; ^ ) And then a long vacation in Italy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
