Hi,
I think I have a problem that is related to unicode translation. I have
some files with filenames saved in unicode with special characters. This is
fine as I can open it. The problem began when I had to reconfigure my
computer system and backed up all my files. To do this, I backed it up
Nicholas,
1. Use CD ripping software to create an ISO image of the CDROM. Roxio's Easy CD
Creator, Nero, etc - all can do this.
Either:
2a. Use a quality ISO image editor tool to rename the files. You'll have to do a bit
of research to find one but they do exist - it's just been a while
John [Cowan]'s list is not a few characters.
Let's take Latin, for starters. There are 1870 entries in the UCA for Latin.
If you subtract from John's list the ones that are already interleaved -- as
I did in my email -- then you get 78 values, or about 4%.
I'll repeat that list again below,

I am positive that all of my

they will be *substantially* affected, in the sense of any complete
redefinition of how the tailoring itself is defined. I don't think
they will be *substantially* affected, in the sense of any
