Roger, Someone is working on adapting gutcheck to handle UTF8 as a spinoff of the effort to improve Guiguts' handling of languages other than English (following up on a suggestion you made to me); see below. Could the wwers please liaise with him on whether this could be a sanctioned project and also whether it should work under the gutcheck sourceforge project (if not we can do it under the guiguts project). Also are better tools needed to convert UTF8 to Latin-1 and ASCII. The same individual has compiled aspell 0.6 for Window which offers Unicode normalization. All are welcome to contribute views in the fora below. Developers in C and Perl are needed.

It would be easiest for me to send up UTF-8. But the WW tools to check the submission, like gutcheck, struggle with UTF-8
