	I'd suspect the sniffer logic does not do any special casing -- any
/byte value/ is a candidate for the delimiter. This would allow for
usage of some old ASCII control characters -- things like  x1F (unit
separator) 

{Next is to rig the sniffer to identify x1F for fields, and x1E for
records <G>}
