Indeed. However, which way should they be rotated? Clockwise or counterclockwise? We would need a special encoding cookie, consisting of the Braille encoding of "zero-width space", with a guarantee that its inverted form will never be used to mean anything. Alternatively, you could have programs attempt to autodetect the rotation used, which will be perfect unless Bush hid the facts. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
