define d-10 int size 2 = 10
define d-lf char*1 = char(d-13)[1:1] or [2:1]

define d-13 int size 2 = 13
define d-cr char*1 = char(d-13)[1:1] or [2:1]

The substring starting position is machine dependent. The HP3000 uses the   
right byte (i.e. [2:1]), those old Compaq machines use the left byte.   
Unix is incomprehensible :-)
