I got so far as to understand how you would represent it (ASCII NUL or DEL seem to fit the description very nicely), but as to the rationale for its existence, I'm at a complete loss. If you think this is narrow interest, mail me. If I get enough replies like this, I'll summarize. Would prefer to use the group, though. -- [Erik Naggum] Snail: Naggum Software / BOX 1570 VIKA / 0118 OSLO / NORWAY Mail: , My opinions. Wail: +47-2-836-863 --
