True. But I have standardized on UTF-8 for all text output in my applications, since I sometimes also have to deal with cyrillic stuff, and I don't want to adjust my encodings and the input filter all the time. Going directly to UTF-8 solves all that. Is there any good reason not to use UTF-8 by default? -- Carl-Eric Menzel * OpenPGP KeyID 808F4A8E * Encrypted Messages Preferred "Der Beginn aller Wissenschaften ist das Erstaunen, daß die Dinge sind, wie sie sind." - Aristoteles
