Convert the alphabet into Murray code then binary, and everything then appears as 0 and 1 in its simplest form. mal/g3kev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Trayner" To: Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 1:24 PM Subject: RE: LF: NON MORSE Dear Mal and others, > Come on Jim, learn the Murray code. Prof. Tony Brooker, who wrote the first compiler compiler and later became Essex University's first Professor of Computing, once told me that he used to use Murray's code in his early days. Not on the radio, but for programming, sometimes in absolute binary. He commented that you got to know that if, for instance, the character was a an inverted comma and you wanted to set bit 4 then it became a digit 7 (or a letter U, at taste). They didn't eat quiche in those days. OO*.** OOO.O* Chris G4OKW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
