Hey August!

 AA> @CHRS: CP437 2

Hm.  That is really weird because your quote from me shows;

 MK> ... В ч*жой монастырь со своим *ставом не ходят.
 MK>     Don't go to another monastery with your own rules

Which are obviously cp866.  It isn't possible for the cp437 codepage to display russian characters.

 AA> support russian and english chars simultaneously).

I can throw in latvian to the above and have them all in the same msg simultaneously ... and a few more while we're at it.

 AA> Don't worry about the Latvian.

I wasn't worried but just being complete.  There is no good reason latvian and others can't be supported by having the right tools at hand.  I believe we have proved that.  As for your CHRS kludge I think it stands as further evidence how lame the CHRS kludge actually is.  I don't think it is a keeper.

Life is good,
Maurice
