Re: Hex representation

Hi Steve,

That's a cool way to do it. I wish I thought of it.
Here's yet another way by java:

public class lotsofhex55 {

public static void main (String[] argv) {

char myHex55;
myHex55 = (char) 0x55;

// replace 256 with 262144 after testing
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
System.out.print (myHex55);
}
} // end main()
} // end class

Regards,

Or, using standard *nix tools (Note: 0x55 = ascii U):
dd bs=1k count=256 if=/dev/zero | tr '\000' U > full_of_0x55
