Works great in X11 on OS X, too! ;) Use it in freeBSD, trying to get it set up for openBSD, having trouble with Wnn and onew, because the groff (ja-groff) port is not where the obsd port seems to think it should be. While I'm definitely glad to have it for fBSD and oBSD, I have trouble motivating myself to use it on Mac OS X. I'm a little spoiled, perhaps. (Hmm. Might be interesting to try MIFES under emulation on obsd/fbsd. It isn't free, of course. Come to think of it, I should get Java up under emulation and try Jedit first.) I haven't tried the editor in the latest Metrowerks Codewarrior, but it's always been natural for me. No character set tools, however. The color-coding would get out of sync in shift-JIS strings (for reasons that those who work regularly with shift-JIS know and appreciate). BBEdit is what spoiled me on the Mac, by the way. But none of that addresses the OP's garbled string of something I was thinking looked like euc-JIS transmorgrified into some visible hexadecimal display form -- deg.TMGDBdeg.$D9$BBdeg.$D9deg.$E9deg.$D9-$DA$F5 Where have I seen that before? It just doesn't make any sense at all as any JIS in a visible hexadecimal form. Maybe it's just raw, untouched, straight JIS, with no escapes. -- Joel Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
