Wordsize may vary, but bytes are 8 bits. and nybbles are 4 bits.
So say you. Reality differs.
this may be a translation problem... I see on wikipedia that the word "octet" can be used when 8 bits must be enforced, however "octet" in the french translation for "byte", so in french there is no difference between "byte" and "octet" (in fact I discover than "octet" can be used in english). what about other langages? may be the problem is only in english? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Cécile, esthéticienne à Montpellier http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
