Anyone who really, badly wants to parse the grocery lists of Ewell using software can check the character properties for Ewellic, in standard Unicode format, at: http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ew-props.html While these characters ain't never gonna be in Unicode, I would think all proposals for encoding should have this level of detail regarding the properties of the proposed characters. Note especially the "number" fields for the hex digits: they are numeric, they are even digits, but they're not *decimal* digits. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
