I map line drawing characters, bullets, etc. The stuff that I found to be common when web browsing using w3m, reading email with mutt, etc. Also I discard ANSI color escapes and some xterm escapes. At byte 765 you can see the hash table of all the Unicode characters supported. One note, I only support 16-bit Unicode as you can see by looking at the 16-bit values listed in the hash table. The actual UTF-8 encoding of those unicode characters may be 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit or 32-bit, however. The hash table is based on these M100 to Unicode mappings the community came up with: http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=Unicode_Mappings Also I couldn't not notice that in the source you have some parts > about the directory structure of the M100.

The goal is to add zmodem transfer, but it isn't remotely done yet. In the meantime, maybe you or another member would consider writing a stand-alone filter program or script to convert UTF-8 to M100 ASCII based on the mappings above? Could be fun/useful given ASCII art editors around, especially those with support for line drawing characters. Cheers, -- John.
