Any of the odd ascii characters for > unix? Any Help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I know those characters belong to the upper 128 characters in the 8 bit ASCII-set. That's why there are problems if you transfer files containing such characters (internet provides only the 7 bit ASCII standard), so it is better not to use such characters. BTW: I have the same problems with the german "Umlaute". If I use them in a mail (I am working on a Unix-Station), my friends cannot read them (they work on PCs), so I don't use them. -- Christian Meisl alias mei...@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at Graz University of Technology, Austria 1.
