Hey August!

Above is 72 wrapped.

Above is 64 wrapped.

I've been doing 72 wrapped for quotes.  Also, these are 72 multibyte characters 
which when deployed are likely to get screwed up when doing bytewise wraps
where one character = 1 byte.  Hence my use of the word "dated".

Life is good,
Maurice
