Possible? Sure. But it would be difficult; you would need to simulate a binary machine - C has a whole bunch of stuff that is defined to operate "as if" certain things are stored in binary. Coupled with the way anything can be copied by using char-based types, you end up needing a binary machine, whether real or simulated. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
