I have a mac and I type the data into a field using my keyboard. It does not work right. But I also have tried with files that are on my mac and I have transferred them from binary to ascii and then to binary code and the conversions all work properly with all of the files and typing except for binary to hex which works if you are only using one line and not too many characters which I did not waste my time figuring out how many you can use.
I do know you can type Mark into a field and then transfer it to binary code and then put that code into a field. You can then transfer that binary code to hex or ascii and it will work. The ascii will be Mark again and the hex can be transferred to ascii and it will be Mark and you can transfer the ascii to binary and to ascii and it will be Mark again. We did all of the conversions and you are still Mark when we got done. You are feeling good and things are working nice! Now you type Mark into the field and put a return after your name. Do all of the conversions except the binary to hex. You can even convert ascii to hex and hex to binary and binary to ascii and you will still be Mark. Okay now using the same text make it become binary using any transfer you want to use. Remember this is Mark with a return after it. Now convert the binary to hex and use any path of conversions to get it back to ascii and you will see the name Mark and it will have the letters tm that are real small and up in the air. You are now Mark with a trade mark symbol. Of course if you type returns and do not strip them and have more text some times it will strip the return. The best thing to do in file conversions is strip the returns to prevent problems. Now type Hello on one line and type Mark on another line you can get one line and when you have processed it it will be fine but if you get two lines even though you only get the 0’s and 1’s because you know how many their are you will end up the the tm again. Now type a return and the name Mark and strip the return with code and you will end up with tm and Mark. Try to strip the tm with code and you cannot strip it out.
