Since I only know from my experiences, I can't be sure of anything. I however always wanted to know the correct answer, tho :-) ASCII has the same value within Unicode so they are not really different. On the other hand, all the encoding under Unix/Linux are EUC, at least for multi-bite. It was much later you gained the choice of Shift-JIS at install. Solaris8 does, but most of Linux still offers EUC only last I checked. All NTs process in UTF-8, but their GUI are always CP932, which is an extended Shift-JIS. This is the most confusing one. OSX is the first true native Unicode OS (process and GUI) which can turn into any language on a finger tip. This was how it was advertised :-) >If I recall correctly, PowerMail exports in tab delimited format using >the macintosh encoding of your preferred system language (in your case, >mac japanese). Are you saying Mac Japanese is Shift-JIS? If that is true, it all make sense, and I like it that way much better than Unicode. Thanks Jéröme, as usual. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]>
