				| oneofspace, 
 It gets trickier to push the left over bytes on to the next group. (5 * 9 = 45 and you want only 43 so the first left over bytes is 2 and then next set it will be 4 and so on ....)
 
 Can't think of an easier way to do in 1 or 2 passes.

				| Sometimes programmers just need to program. . .   
 This is a trivial bit of program code. . .
