Part of the problem with the backslash/yen confusion is that it will interpret 0x5C with backslash semantics, meaning that you can't recode Japanese text with that problem automatically, as sometimes 0x5C means backslash and sometimes it means yen. (The problem is with Windows and some Unix systems. Linux and, I believe, the Mac OS are immune to the problem except when dealing with text coming from Windows or those Unix systems with the problem.) So, no, it wouldn't. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED], dvdeug/jabber.com (Jabber) Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org When the aliens come, when the deathrays hum, when the bombers bomb, we'll still be freakin' friends. - "Freakin' Friends"
