Hilarious, this is what I like about this forum. Throw any digital bone into the this group of dogs (no offence intended) and they will all jump on it, analyze it, cut it into pieces, rephrase it, write their solution, convince all others of their personal findings and branch off into any possible hexadecimal direction, where the process is iterated.
And it even ain't Friday yet.

"non-printable" is a term that has little meaning. Even if you mean "non-printable using a TN print train", for example, that is only a subset of the 256 possible values in a byte. The point of using a term like "any hexadecimal character" is to indicate that all 256 possible values in the byte are acceptable. It could just as well be "a byte with any hexadecimal value", or "a byte with any binary value". -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
