   I can't figure out what you're trying to show there, but I don't think you   
   know either.  Thats not the escaping code if that is what you're going for.   
   This is:   
      
   char *strquote (char *s, int flags)   
   {   
         ... (cut some stuff) ...   
         sprintf (r + i, "\\x%02x", *(unsigned char *) s);   
   }   
      
   And at least in the version you're showing me, BINKD does not implement the   
   per-connection option for legacy escaping as per the FTS update.  If it did,   
   then Paul would not have the issue he's having and thus why I sent him in this   
   direction.   
      
   Paul's issue cannot be solved unless BINKD is updated or his downlink changes   
   software versions. There is literally nothing I can do to help him.  I don't   
   care if BINKD wants to support escaping in legacy mode as per FTS or not   
   personally.   
      
   And for the record.  Here's Mystic's code for this.  It more closely follows   
   FTS in comparison to the link I just looked at which you sent, so I don't know   
   what you're complaining about:   
      
   Function TBinkP.EscapeFileName (Const Str: String) : String;   
   { Replace illegal characters with \## escaped sequences }   
   Const   
     SafeChars  = ['!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '''', '(', ')', '*', '+', ',',   
                   '-', '.', '/', ':', ';', '<', '=',  '>', '?', '@', '[', ']',   
                   '^', '_', '`', '{', '}', '~'];   
     AlphaChars = ['0'..'9','A'..'Z','a'..'z'];   
   Var   
     Count : Byte;   
   Begin   
     Result := '';   
      
     For Count := 1 to Length(Str) Do   
       If (Str[Count] in SafeChars) or (Str[Count] in AlphaChars) Then   
         Result := Result + Str[Count]   
       Else   
         { 0=Original BINKP (Argus, IREX, Amiga) }   
         { 1=Updated (Post 2010+ FTS updates ie BINKD uses this) }   
         Case EscapeMode of   
           1 : Result := Result + '\x' + strI2H(Byte(Str[Count]), 2);   
         Else   
           Result := Result + '\' + strI2H(Byte(Str[Count]), 2);   
         End;   
   End;   
      
   ... One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
