I can only interpret your vociferous replies to mean that you consider permanently dumping accented characters
"permanently"? as i said, as soon as unicode works everywhere, i will embrace it. those of us out here in the real world know that time is not yet here. in the meantime, my viewer-tool will actually _display_ all those accented characters, even when they are not present in the e-text, if the user chooses that option. (it's all about user-choice for me.) if you want to help with that, create a list of such accented words.
to be an *important* requirement to implement your system.
"my" system? michael's philosophy of having the e-texts work on all machines, specifically including trailing-edge machinery, is _the_ factor that has made his e-library the premier one in all of cyberspace, thank you very much. you got a high-tech solution? fine, use it. and watch it wither, just like every other one before it has... as to my tools in particular, they will support unicode fully, long before unicode works with all the other tools out there, so you're barking up the wrong tree, buster. i'm done with this stupid thread! done, done, done! aarrgghh! :+) -bowerbird
