I just like to keep things "8-bit clean". As long as all tools used to process the files are also 8-bit clean, nothing gets corrupted. Alas, it does mean files are sometimes displayed incorrectly. But in my experience, it gets messy when I introduce UTF-8. > I imagine most of the critics are from countries that never needed more > than ASCII There is something to it. People who use only ASCII seem to like UTF-8 better than those who frequently use non-English characters. I've seen claims that UTF-8 is "compact" but compared to strictly 8-bit character sets like Latin-1 it is not. -aw -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
