Hi Nikolay, I have obvious hit a cultural nerve here, if so I am sorry.
At least there is communication on some level, Chinese colleagues would =
not even bother to respond to aid debug.
Be that as it may, why not use either normal decimal numbers or normal =
characters to show what a normal person would understand instead of =
having to convert the shown output ?
