No, there wasn't a resolution yet... just many more emails via PM... and the current opinions range between "do nothing and wait until UTF-8 takes over the world" (which is unlikely to happen) and "ammend the whole SMF ARC case and replace svcprop with a propper interface" (which is IMO not needed). I'm currently ~~2600 emails behind my email (more or less half-sick/dead inu the last two weeks and still have to catch-up, I'll revisit the thread later this week...) ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
