I really can't pretend to be pleased about this, the IBM name gave a lot of

I find it a little unsettling that there isn't anything on Rocket's

Not even a press release? I would have thought they'd have something

Personally I view it as a very good sign that they are taking a back seat
and letting the U2 people get their message out to their customers. Sure a
message from the new owners is needed soon but not doing it up front is a
sign that they are interested letting the team get on with the business

It may also be worth playing with the RAW.INPUT and/or RAW.OUTPUT
compiler directives:
eg. BASIC BP progname RAW.INPUT RAW.OUTPUT
These directives alter how system delimiters are mapped (I'm not sure

I think if you looked at the hex values of Char(128) you would see two
characters. Convert will only change one character for another (same
size). Swap will change characters of any size to characters of any

SWAP CHAR(128) WITH IN STATE should work if I remember right.
