Steve,

About a month ago, there was a discussion about Binary to Ascii, and finally
you arrived at an answer that was satisfactory to you.  Well, I have now
come
upon an ocassion where I could use just such routines.  Would you be willing
to share your code with me.   I would appreciate it if you would.  Let me
know.


Thanks and Regards,


Jim
