Hi John,
Oh, the algorithm is pretty clear: the 0x08 character appears instead of
the last space, closest to the end of line, typically where line length
is 65 characters.
When converting from WP-2 to ASCII text, I replace the 0x08 with space,
otherwise the words would run together.
When converting from ASCII to WP-2, I will have to figure out which
space character is closest to end of line and replace it with 0x08. The
character after that would be the start of the next line for the
purposes of this calculation.
The WP-2 does this dynamically when editing text, and when converting
ASCII to WP-2 binary/native format. I'm aiming to perform those
conversions in linux instead so I don't have to wait around 10-15
seconds for the WP-2 to do it LOL
I also don't know which ROM I have in my WP-2, since you mentioned there
were two?
Anyway, a fun exercise.
Regards, Bert

Maybe add a scale at the top and see what it looks like? Or get a few
lines into a spreadsheet with one hex character per cell.
Maybe the pattern is just that it follows the last word that fits on an
80 character line. Maybe you will see something more.
