Interestingly similar scheme. It wonder if 5-bit chars was a common compression scheme. The Z-machine spec was never officially published either. I believe a "task force" reverse engineered it sometime in the 90's.
Baudot was 5 bits. It used shift-codes to get upper case and digits, if I recall.
And ASCII was 7 bits so there could be one more for parity. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
