in reply to EBCDIC & COMP-3 *shriek*

Are you by chance trying to decipher an Oracle dump?

I have a quick-n-dirty around here somewhere to reverse that, and believe me, the sneaky bastards went out of their way to make it difficult to read. (It really chaps my ass when companies forget whose data it is. Code, well that's fine, but it's *my data*, period.)

I'm so tired I'm ready to fall over, and I'd like to review said code before I post it. Let me know if that's what you're working on, and I'll bump it up on my list tommorrow morning.
