no - it's an mc problem: setting locale to C means that none of the codes 128-255 are deemed printable. mc's still emitting them. Even if mc were doing the right thing, it's unlikely that the "printable" section of the hex display would give useful data for a number of cases, e.g., a UTF-8 file which I examined was handled properly in the text view but mishandled in the hex view. -- Thomas E.
