I'm not sure what you mean.. could you be a little more precise in explaining what it is you're trying to do?

You want to create your own encryption by converting ASCII characters into something else?

Hi

can you explain what you mean with:

"convert ASCII to characters"


When you use dd you can translate from asci to ebcdic or other character sets.

Is this what you want??
