Just to be sure we are all talking about the same thing. The uplow opcode is intended to give the dot patterns for both the uppercase and lowercase characters. For example: uplow Aa 17,1 uplow Bb 127,12 If only one dot pattern is given it is taken to apply to both the upper and lower case characters. However, this is not the recommended use. John -- John J.
