I don't understand, how can you encode in an 8bit space all the characters of the world languages ? And if it is a multi-byte encoding, then it should have about the same problems as utf-8 or euc have when faced with byte-only utilities. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
