	Sorry about the cryptic title.  What I am referring to is
the gold disk on the side of whatever vehicle is leaving the
solar system (Pioneer ?).  The thing with the drawing of a man
and a woman, picture of solar system, etc.

	I forget where I saw it, but I saw a picture of it that
explained everything on it.  The question is :  what were the
little dashes or dots that were supposed to be the numbers 1-10
in binary ?  I looked at it and could not decipher it as that
or anything else meaningful, and I had been "told what it was".

	Could someone reproduce that piece and explain it ?
