Would anyone happen to know how Windows 3.1 Code Page 1250 maps to ISO and Macintosh? I would be interested in discussing issues related to this further. Cross-platform support for non-ascii languages appears to be practically non-existent at the present moment. (Is there something I'm missing here?) Sadly this makes communication in non-ascii-based languages difficult/ugly, or keeps it paper-bound. All of the Czech-language mailing lists I subscribe to use ascii only, which is really pretty sad, as I'm sure you will agree. The internet provides some support for different character sets, but not many people seem to use it. (Most mail programs don't seem to support it at all. Are there any that do?) Thanks in advance, -Ian McFarland -- #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-# | imf@netcom,com or imf@tatertot.com Jeste pivo, prosim! | #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-#
