Well, it displayed fine when you originally wrote it. Now you quoted your original text with US-ASCII CHRS kludge and broke it! ;)

Ok. I've temporarily checked out the commit prior to the "Zero Conversion" commit, but I can easily go back to normal. Gives me a chance to learn a little more about git than just to clone and pull (I'm not a programmer). ;)

It seems CP866 and KOI8-R translate to UTF-8 nicely, at least what I've seen here on Fidonet.

 VA> I see. And you use that fake conversion table from/to UTF-8, right? If

Yes. The fake conversion table is only to correct my CHRS kludge. Otherwise, it doesn't nothing else.

Regards,
Nick
