Yes. It even says "There are *several* different variations of the 8-bit ASCII table." (emphasis added), which is an understatement and a half. Wikipedia claims over 220 different "extended ASCII" encodings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII That's more than the number of countries in the world, which (depending on how you count them) is generally recognised to be about 194. http://www.worldatlas.com/nations.htm -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
