Re: Strategies for two-byte char systems
Doesn't sound like it'll do what I need, which is to display Japanese characters and to convert them to HTML. I know for sure that on the stack itself Japanese characters are displayable -- assuming, of course, a Japanese-capable OS with Japanese font(s). But MC itself, for example in the property windows for font-selection or a text-field, will display characters as goobledegook. And editing Japanese text thru a stack is possible but a mess ... hence mine and some others' past request that MC support two-byte chars, but which unfortunately is not at the top of the feature request list... :-( About converting to HTML, I guess it would work, but I don't really know. At this point you would need to check the character set (tag) embedded in the exported html file:- if it is any western set number you will get garbage; on editing it to your required character set the file should magically display in Chinese / Japanese, etc. George Wade, Kochi, Japan BTW, this topic's been raised before, and IMO was covered well by Dave Cragg. Search the archives for his name -- or perhaps he'll answer you himself any moment now :-) Hope that helps. Cheers.

Strategies for two-byte char systems
I'm getting a lot of requests for being able to support two-byte language systems like Japanese. The only doc info I could find that's even remotely related is this, from the Read Me: Functions uniEncode and uniDecode convert to and from the 16-bit Unicode character format used in Windows resources (and as the native string format in Java). Implementation is limited to the converting strings in ISO-8859 character sets at this point, and only in the byte-order expected by little-endian processor architectures (Intel, Alpha, some MIPS). Doesn't sound like it'll do what I need, which is to display Japanese characters and to convert them to HTML. Any clues? Or is this SOL for now? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

I searched for two-byte and got zero results. I search for two byte (without the hyphen) and got six entries completely unrelated to discussions of two-byte solutions. And of course when I searched for Dave Cragg I got more than 150 entries, which I'm still sifting through. :) The archives are a wonderful resource, rendered less useful by the host's limited search facility. I wonder if there's another search engine that could be put into service for the archives, maybe something as flexible as with the BlueWorld lists BTW: I also got a tip from Scott Rossi on the subject, and after I get back from my Valentine's Day evening I'll give it a shot and report back if it works.
