Yes, I can agree with this goal. iso-8859 unification is clearly a Good Thing, and I'll take your word for it that unifying the various Cyrillic encodings is also the right thing to do. OTOH, we have Han unification which might not be so good. I still think that Dave's changes are good: they do not limit the encodings used for the .bbdb file. They just allow more easily to use a different encoding for .bbdb than for other files. The changes are good regardless of the encoding used to store the file, IMHO. -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
