Don't blame me, I'm not the one who created all those funky European accented characters, etc. Just wait for ASCIII. Really within the English language, there's really only a need for 128 characters. All other (European) characters tend to only be seen within International communications. Most within the US have no need for the European characters, etc. However, per your previous comment concerning application development, no where did I say I was omitting UTF-8 support from (my) applications. I merrily stated I omit using those extra characters on my own computers, by using POSIX/C locale. (ie. You'll notice some manufactured hardware using the FAT file system, breaks when trying to read such characters.) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
