It also lacks a decimal point character. But just as a full stop (period) suffices as a decimal point, the apostrophe suffices as a single quote character (e.g. C/C++, Bourne shell, etc). It's not as if you actually *need* to use balanced quotes. > PS. Is `utf8' a valid MIME charset name? iconv understands it as an alias for utf-8. I don't know whether MIME specifies an exhaustive list of encodings. FWIW, the fact that VM chose UTF-8 was news to me; historically, it has used ISO-2022 for multi-lingual text. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
