From what I hear, something like this will be built-in in V.4, and the Mac has support for two-byte character sets (although not many people use it :-( ) so I think things will get better. If we all kick some ass while we can and do our best, other will surely see the Good in our Quest, and follow us like disciples :') Hapy Hacking from h+@nada.kth.se -- Never trust an economist.
