the file is an ascii txt file i am parsing. i am also trying not to
use any external libraries other than what i need because i want to be
in control of the speed. when i read in the file using gets i read the
entire thing in. if i print the file i get a seies of ascii keycodes.
if i puts the file i see it as it is in notepad. surely you know what
this is Kat??? , besides problem solved now anyway!
