   actually removing the crlf is OK, but not inserting newlines. I'd   
   forgotten that whilst my ret slide of "dec bp" is usually OK it could be   
   an issue here; but I reset bp to 0 in the secondary stage anyway.

   Sure; it is a bit complicated (at least to me!). I use bp::dx as a qword   
   accumulator for the 5:4 decoding.
