It's interesting, though, that there are other, very language-specific 7bit standards which are also called ASCII, but not us-ascii. The German version, for instance, had �,�,� in the places of [,\,]. Are they actually in use anywhere any more? And are there standardized e-mail header notations to identify texts coded thusly, which today's sophisticated e-mail programs could actually interpret reliably? Well, I guess it's rather moot in today's age of iso-8859-1 and of ra- ther consistent 8bit e-mail support throughout. -- ___ __ __ "Muscles of All Limbs, Unite! / _ / _( ) You Have Nothing to Lose But Your Sinews."
