Well,
this works on my box even for unprintable control characters, they are
simply ommitted. (Did not test every possible 8 bit combination, too
lazy to write a test program).
Is this safe on all UNICES?
Better ideas someone?
More generic approach desirable?
Shall I submit a patch or better wait?
Is this correct C++ syntax? (Please note, I can speak only a bit of C,
so please stay patient with me)
Greets,

** Shift-JISand Big5 utilizes the region 0x80-0x9f which will be
** converted to non-printable control characters.
