Hi Mat, I realize that readseq reads correctly. Then my question is how to read in in hex in order to read appropriate character and recognize it. For instance, in debug mode I can not see character H but H or I and program will not recognize it even though I specified in the code to search for this character.

But Your terminal(emulator) will - unless You specify the same character mapping as the original data. If on unix check that Your stty ( or PTERM if in uv ) settings speicify 8-bit. Also whatever You do You'll always have a problem with char(253) through char(255) that universe use as subvalue,value,field and item marks. If You don't know the encoding try ISO-8859-1.
