Most do simply because it seemed to make sense to do so. There's really no peractical need, for example, to define the range \x80-\x9F as those usually are extended control characters which are rarely, if ever, needed. The reality, though, is that newer text tables, as well as rewritten old ones, will likely differ from what's been done in the past. This is because they're now based on Unicode rather than on a local character set, which will tend to mean that only those characters which are actually needed will be defined. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
