I apologize in advance for cross posting, but this question was posted to
both lists. I implore people NOT to crosspost.
You can get all previous versions of the client code at
http://www.opensrs.org/src/old/ - but 2.33 is the only one that can do ALL
character sets (previous versions can only do the original 4)
BTW - there is no version of 2.33 that did not use UTF-8, we had to put
the USE_RACE in there AFTER we released 2.33 because we did not realize
the problems with Perl versions under 5.6. Even if I gave you the
original 2.33 version, you'd likely have the same problems - all we
implemented was a flag for users that didn't have Perl 5.6
As for "problems" you're having, if you could be more descriptive (or
possibly send a more detailed account of the difficulties you're having)
we can find a solution, for yourself, and other persons who may (or may
not?) be having such difficulties.
