Mind, I don't know if there is any hardware that accepts 24-bit BE values. I don't know if there are still any out in the wild and I don't recall their endian-ness but ICL 1900 series machines used a 6-bit character representation and had 24-bit words. Update: Corrected typo, supplied missing word :-( Cheers, JohnGG
