I think you will find that the space probably became chr$(255) if I
remember correctly. I believe some of the OS/2 rule breaking files are
also char 255. (Maybe it was 128... I cant even remember what space is
off hand, but I do remember that these tended to be something NOT
space.)
To check it out go to a DOS/windows/etc box and try to edit that file...
you know how to get all the blah hi stuff.. for the space do ALT+255
(255 must be done on the numpad).
Anyway, this is how I remember it. I used to hide things in files that
way as well.
