Hey Richard!
RM> Tina Turner is a node in Fidonet??
Not that I am aware of but I posted it to her anyhow given the subject.
RM> Why was there no REPLY Kludge?
It wasn't a reply.
RM> If you spell Eichhörnchen like Eichhoernchen then you get away
RM> with ASCII for German.
But then how would I spell Björn? I suppose I could spell it Bjørn instead
but then Björn might go off the rails and nobody wants that ... do they?
RM> If the software supports UTF-8
Yes it does. As in the post "simply the best" it wrote German, Russian, Greek,
Swedish and English. Unfortunetly the Swedish was all ascii but I have been
know to post Swedish with utf8 characters in the past without any complaints.
Mind you I believe it was you that had issues with one of my Swedish proverbs
in the LINUX echo not too long ago.
RM> and you can read/write Russian, Hebrew, Arab or Chinese
They are all possible except with Chinese I'd have to move to a GUI app instead
of the console. However since this is the FTSC_PUBLIC forum I believe that
Hebrew, Arab and Chinese are not supported, along with almost every other
language on the planet. Also I threw Greek in the post which is also not
supported by the FTSC so I suppose you caught me red handed breaking with
'standards'. Oh well.
Life is good,
Maurice
