(exclamation mark). > >Find that computer and shoot it.... That is definitely an IBM computer that is doing it. EBCDIC does not have '[' and ']' in the character set. Don't shoot the computer, shoot IBM. Now we know what is at the root of all these problems. BRAIN DAMAGED IBM MACHINES (once again!!). May i make a suggestion. Lets drop UUENCODE and adopt BinHex. There is a good reason why people in the Mac world use it. Even IBM computers can handle the characters 'A'...'F'. If there is enough interest i will post the source for BinHex here. -- usenet: .....!decvax!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@case arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay compuServe: 71515,155
