Here's what happens exactly: source simple case folding full case folding tr/az case folding dotted i dotted i dotted i dotted i dotless i dotless i dotless i dotless i dotted I dotted I dotted i + comb. dot dotted i dotless I dotted i dotted i dotless i -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com "The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague." --Edsger Dijkstra
