No. You still don't understand what the *DEFINITION* of "human readable" is. >> I found that printed below a bar code on a product in the supermarket: >> "004980 534100" >> > > It's the product code for that item.

That's > why children learn to read. And first of all children learn the meaning of letters - thats why *letters* are called "human readable". If one also *understands* the meaning of the letters depends on the *context* and the *knowledge* of the person about the text. Just because "ardo nmwp wccdcw pnebow" does not have any meaning for you or me it does *not* mean that it can not be *read*, letter by letter. -- Arno Welzel http://arnowelzel.de http://de-rec-fahrrad.de http://fahrradzukunft.de
