Did you double-check that they didn't want "0200" in ascii in the message? As in: STX0200................ENX Because that's always possible. And, if you're _lucky_, they designed the innards of the message so that "ENX" can never appear at random. Though with a length parameter, you shouldn't have to worry about that...though with a length parameter the ENX is redundant... Argh! I'm having flashbacks. --Blair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
