Hi,  
Could Robert K. please re-post his reply to “newbie: unpacking  
binary data”?

It seems my post and his reply have disappeared into the ethernet.

Thanks in advance  
Regards  
Mark

Hi Mark,

You may be interested to know that the ‘forum’ you’re looking at is  
really just a front end to a mailing list that happens to be connected  
to a news group.

Though the forum may ‘disappear replies into the ethernet’, google  
rarely does.

Case in point:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse\_frm/thread/8743b01e5bb38908/aade2566118ff296?lnk=gst&q=newbie%3A+unpacking&rnum=1#aade2566118ff296](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_frm/thread/8743b01e5bb38908/aade2566118ff296?lnk=gst&q=newbie%3A+unpacking&rnum=1#aade2566118ff296)

hth,

Thanks for the tip! I’ll use the Google group from now on.
