Ok. But if you map Unicode characters in the range 0x0000-0x00ff to 1-byte values without some translation, you get ISO-8859-1 characters, not ASCII characters (which only covers the values 0x00-0x7f). I guess it's user-friendly, but then the userdoc should explicitely explain what is done in a way that is understandable to people who happen know what exactly what the different standards define (Europeans and Asians tend to be somewhat better educated in this than people from the US.... for obvious reasons). -- Bernt Marius Johnsen, Database Technology Group, Sun Microsystems, Trondheim, Norway
