Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] RE: [Ethereal-cvs] cvs commit: ethereal/epan s trutil.c
Hi,
..."showing 0xF9 as \xF9 rather than \371."
would be preferable to me as I'm not used to octal codes and would align better
to the byte view. But it's no big issue.
Best regards
Anders

Historical, mainly - non-printable characters are displayed as C
escapes, and C had octal escapes before it had hex escapes, so
old-timers are more used to the octal escapes.

We could, showing 0xF9 as \xF9 rather than \371.
