MSD*S uses a different :character set from Windows, which is different from the Mac and Unix and :NT. : :Is this problem insurmountable? Well, you can just pick one, and ignore everyone else! Mainly because that's what the Amiga uses, I picked ISO Latin-1, which works not bad for many international uses. The codes for it seem to work on many UNIX boxes as well, and I suspect can be made to work on PC's. A friend with a Mac complained that the E-acute I had used in the name "Faberge" was some wierd thing on his system. I thought about it a bit and decided I didn't really care. Of course Microsoft would prefer you use Unicode. -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00456" HREF="msg00456.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Dots in a name?</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Matt Chatterley <root#mpc,dyn.ml.org></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00454.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The 'Socialiser' problem</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00456.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Dots in a name?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00458.html">[MUD-Dev] Languages: "strong" vs "weak"</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00456.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Dots in a name?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00455"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00455"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] New to this mailing list</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01109" HREF="msg01109.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] New to this mailing list</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Fri 05 Sep 1997, 17:51 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01133" HREF="msg01133.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] New to this mailing list</A></strong>, Jon A.
