Yes. The reference is to posting character codes other than the printable ones 32 to 128, especially the control codes below 32, as they can give news-servers indigestion. If it has nonprintable bytes in, then UUencode it. HTNL gives no problems as it's plain ascii. Some people also moan about uuencodes or html being a nuissance in text discusions --- but I reckon short chunks of Java are perfectly relevant here. -- ## ## " Now there's a man with an open mind: (@ (@ I can feel the breeze from here."
