No representation I've seen is less pretty than NCR's for the C-315 (ca
1963). The 6 digits for the hex values were simply the six characters
which happened to fall after the digits in the four-byte world. I think
10 was @...12 was space, and others were , . and two more.
Memory dumps in which spaces are either significant data or whitespace
depending on column "can be a nuisance." ;-)
