I don't disagree with you; I only report the news, I don't make it. FWIW, "EBCDIC-safe" characters are the usual printable ones in ASCII, but excluding odd choices like !, ", #, $, @. <, =, >. Paul, next time you happen to see Marshall Rose at some Internet Geezer meetup maybe you can ask him about it? Just for old time's sake :-) --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
