Trying to see what's what here with all characters from ASCII 32 to 255. I
spaced out ASCII 0 to 31, as well as the box characters that were originally
there. This comes from the help file included with IBM'e employee-written Tiny
Editor. Arachne panicked and stopped at the ASCII 26 when I tried to view the
Tiny Editor help file unexpurgated, likely due to a bug in the C compiler. Now
I want to see where those funny Z symbols show with Arachne. I noticed this,
and it is not limited to detroit.freenet.org/~at147/mac.htm. Those box
characters were meant for the default DOS and OS/2 character set, and would come
out screwy in the international character sets used for email. I have noticed
screwy apostrophes in email messages away from Arachne, though the regular
apostrophe ' (ASCII 39) always comes out right. Anybody who wants to see how
this message looks in another character set can edit the charset info in the
Content-type: line. But I remember those Z with ha�ek characters from previous
Arachne viewings of certain files. I even saw a T with ha�ek (ASCII 134) in
this character lineup when viewed with Arachne, and I didn't know such a
character existed in the Czech language.
I think I'll save this file to see how it views with other, Unix/Linux-based,
email programs.
Now, does anybody know what is charset UTF-8?
