It prints a strange character. > Are you saying that your source file contains a string containing > a hex F4, but when you print that you get something other than F4? I notice that hex F4 appears differently when displayed in text mode (eg: type f.txt) or in Windows mode, for instance using Notepad. Did you perhaps enter a character that looks right, via a graphics mode editor, and then look at the result by running the program in text/command line mode? What happens if you pipe the output to a file, then look at that file with your editor?
