newbie question: Decimal String Format
as I understand the standard, a decimal string (DS) is supposed
to contain characters "0"-"9", ".", ".", "+", "-", "e", and "E" only.
Window Width and Center are of type DS.
However, in some file I find
35\350 in the window_center field and
350\1500 in the window width field.
How am I supposed to interpret these entries?
Thanks for any help!

Re: newbie question: Decimal String Format
Part 6 specifies that these attributes are multi-valued (values separted by
the backslash). The multiple values comprise a set of window settings. As
stated in Part 3::
If multiple values are present, both Attributes shall have the same number
of values and shall be considered as pairs. Multiple values indicate that
multiple alternative views may be presented.
