It never has. There are 2^7 = 128 ASCII characters, not 2^8 = 256. Your "=DF" is a MIME thing, since you posted with Netscape, and those of us who use VT 100 compatible terminals see garbage. Haven't you ever looked at an ASCII table? P.S.: Sven: I thought warlording alt.ascii-art .sig's was against the rules (a mark of Cain thing, you know)? Of course, you're right about the sig dashes... -- Matt Corks, 1B Co-Op PMath, C.S. mvc...@uwaterloo.ca, http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/u/mvcorks/ "Millport is an island off the coast of Scotland.
