I think what Keith *really* meant was not, use s'\x0\xff' @' in the code, but rather, run s'\x0\xff' @' *on* the code, i.e. change the 7 character sequence to the two character sequence. The use of single quotes is deliberate. He's looking at the output of the code in ASCII, rather than converting the output to an actual image. Ronald
