Actually not, as the base64 document survives character conversion. An assembler routine running using EBCDIC will provide the same result (with EBCDIC) as the routine running using ASCII with ASCII, i.e., 'A' translates to the same binary code on both systems. -- Binyamin Dissen <bdis...@dissensoftware.com> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
