Yeah I figured it had something to do with some kind of formatting Vs. ASCII. If you look at the source code for a .mht file (saved archive webpage), you can see a lot of those that never show in the saved webpage itself. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- Those (=3D) marks are referring to the ASCII code for the "=" character in hex. 3D hex is an "=" character. The same as 3A hes is a ":" character. Evidently the code was not interpreted in the readout and transferred literally by Dale. The first = sign is ignored when interpreting..
