Yes, `uniquote -b` produces a similar output to `od -c`, but why would I have the user approximate what I want using a tool he doesn't have? Because what you told him to do did not provide the information needed to diagnose this problem. Notice his response. Plus giving people tools empowers them to become fishermen.	[reply]
