thank you Raul,

On further thought, it appears to be impractical to use larger than base 128 
for binary encoding.

A friendlier display of my numeric list compression routine is possible though 
u:

BASE128 =: BASE64 , a.{~ 192 + i.64 


   u:  compresslistnum   1000000239482039420348x 2 248 +"1 i. 3 3
bN5o8ÒÁDâïA BÀ ýA  
bN5o8ÒÁDâïà DA þÀ 
bN5o8ÒÁDâðÀ EÀ AÀA



There is a formatting problem displaying boxed unicode data.  Is there any 
chance that normal ascii could display as above for codes 192+? or boxed 
unicode could line up?

and 

  BASE128 i. 'bN5o8ÒÁDâðÀ EÀ AÀA'
27 13 57 40 60 67 128 67 128 3 67 128 67 128 67 128 128 4 67 128 128 0 67 128 0

basically show that all of the extended characters are not found in BASE128 but

   a. i. 'bN5o8ÒÁDâðÀ EÀ AÀA'
98 78 53 111 56 195 146 195 129 68 195 162 195 176 195 128 32 69 195 128 32 65 
195 128 65

shows that 2 characters are embedded for extended chars (195 x), and intermixed 
with single codes.

Worth noting is that the extended characters display in my html email client.

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] font with extended ascii? -display binary data

There's http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf

But it's not an informal page.

240-248 corresponds to the rightmost column (the one with the caption 00F),
and the top half of that column (00F0 through 00F8 in the small print at
the bottom of each cell).

Thanks,
