Very rare, I think. > - What happens if the source contains ISO-2022-JP encoded strings > and they get output to a terminal emulator or display engine > which understands EUC-JP or SJIS only? In most cases, some unreadable strings will be shown. Something like: %I%m>B$N8O"GT$@$+ --- -------------------------------------- Akira Higuchi Dept. of Mathematics, Hokkaido Univ.
