I wrote some code that is now gone or I'd post it. This code took a jpeg
file of around 45Mb and I used the tilde operator to turn it "inside out". I
believe I was successful and when I tried to "reshift" the bits it didn't
work too well. Here's s snippet of what I can remember.

int a,b;
a=~b;

while ((a=fgetc(fr))!=EOF)
fputc(a,fw);

This might not be exact but once the shift was made and the file was
rendered incompatible it couldn't be restored.

Not quite. Your original code was "to take an ELF format file and turn it
inside out". And the code was somewhat more involved than the sample you
posted above.

Yes, Bill, and we discussed the problem when you posted your code.
