Unless you can see electrons (or holes or whatever the hell is going on down there), machine language doesn't look like anything. At best it's a bit pattern or a collection of electrical characteristics, hardly a language. Your description of it as 1010... is just an abstraction. But I know what you were trying to say so I'll go back to talking to myself now... -- Scott Wilson arpa: swilson@sun.com Sun Microsystems uucp: ...!sun!swilson Mt. View, CA
