Max - yep, and the hint was "BUSY" (... BZ...)... Unfortunately that hint doesnt lead me anywhere (except to bz2, which involves compression, and didnt seem very likely).
I went through and removed all the \x## 's that represented 'unprintable'/carraigereturn/etc characters, but that wasnt it, ha ha. It just may be that I don't know enough python to recognize the module I need! (I got pickle right away, but bz leaves me blinking). Am I missing something obvious? ~Denise On 5/11/05, Max Noel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On May 12, 2005, at 01:50, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >>>> chr(130) > >>>> > > '\x82' > > > > If you look at http://asciitable.com/, you will see that ascii > > chracter 130 is > > an e with a tick on its head.
