Oh by the way, its not stripping off the 8th bit.
It's *assuming* that there are only 7 bits of valid information per byte.  
It's *chunking* the information into 7bits at a time.
So in 8 "characters" there are only 56 bits you see, not 64 as we'd expect.

That's the viewing problem alltogether.  The data is being squeezed into a 
smaller space.
