Hallo Simon!

 SA> Cyrillic, Chinese and Hebrew AFAIK - and I've no idea of the 
 SA> implementation of those, or even if they're true multi-byte or simply 
 SA> extended codepages.

Cyrillic is not a double byte characer set; cyrillic letters are encoded in
8 bit ASCII just like German umlauts etc. Russian cyrillic is already
covered by FSP 1013. Although there are many cyrillic codepages, Russian
fidonet has agreed on using IBM codepage 866 as transport charset (while
Russian usenet seems to have chosen KOI8-R), and FSP 1013 reflects this by
introducing the CP866 charset kludge.

Hebrew also is not a double byte character set, but there is not yet any
Fidonet standard on this. It would be time to enquire how nodes in Israel
are handling this, and documenting it in FSP 1013. Hebrew, unfortunately,
has the problem of writing direction (it is being written from right to
left).

Viele Gr��e,
Tobias
