This was corrected in a recent addendum to the ISO standard making binary syntax OK for 20 octets. I believe it is Add. 2, but I may be in error. The fact that this addendum has not been widely distributed has caused at least some software designers to make their software incompatible with US GOSIP. *Sigh*. Fortunately, it's usually pretty trivial to fix. R. Kevin Oberman Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Internet: oberman@icdc.llnl.gov (415) 422-6955 Disclaimer: Don't take this too seriously. I just like to improve my typing and probably don't really know anything useful about anything. Especially anything gnu.
