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.
