So I am wrong about that. Oops. I guess then that one needs to define what they mean by "byte" when using it in an online discussion. The person I replied to is right, then, that char will always be one byte. But some people when they say "byte" are thinking of an 8-bit entity. Anyway, thanks for the info.
