I have no problems with this bit of code at all.  I'm just claiming
that there enough bugs in other parts of the code where it 1) won't
work for everybody and 2) won't work with binary pictures such as jpegs
and gifs (HINT: remember that $FF is a null character).

I have sent follow ups to comp.sys.apple2.programmer which is a slightly
more relevant newsgroup for this type of discussion.
