In fact I seem to remember filing similar bugs at the time about rpm/popt getting its help formatting wrong in some locales (eg Welsh) for similar reasons - but that was some time ago. All the mainstream tools handle utf-8 just fine, joe is quite happy editing utf-8 these days (as are the legacy vim and emacs editing tools ;)). There really are no good reasons left not to use UTF-8. Alan -- > you are confusing me even more. Of course. "I'm from IBM. I'm here to help." ;-) -- Alan Altmark
