Hey Tony!

 TL> @TZUTC: 1000

Hm.  Besides the lack of the '+' character shouldn't that be 1100?  When I
looked it up your timezone is currently AEDT which makes it +1100.  No?  Also
AEST (Apr 3 after 3am) shows +1000.

1000 is totally meaningless without the '+' character.  It isn't even a
legitimate number which some misinformed programmers assume it is.  Shame on
them.

 TL> I was using IBM characters a lot in the late 80s, early 90s.

Many people were despite not knowing that is what they were doing.  Even today
most people don't know or get it wrong.  I've seen Russian users claim KOI8-R
when they are actually using CP-1251.

 TL> That information all looks good.

The LANG was wrong and I now have it fixed.  I accidently had it set to
en-AU.utf8 when it should have been en_AU.utf8.

 TL> I've never really taken sides on that issue. :). If I had to pick
 TL> one, it would be vim, because I've had more to do with it than
 TL> emacs.

Excellent answer!  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
