hmmmmm ... that's tough. take the mp3 file. consider the individual bytes, which correspond to the values 0 - 255. write out these values. there you go. a "huge set of individual integers". next time, think you can come up with a more meaningful subject line than "Unsual idea"?? sheesh. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
