NA>> Mystic BBS has no ideas that there could be life outside of cp437 NA>> realm.
MK> Not too much different than the cp866 crowd.
Oops... my latest patch to GoldED source code has done the thing and deanonymized my $LANG/$LC_ALL environment variable.
FWIW, my recent tests with "KOI8-R 2" vs "CP866 2" revealed, that Z2:R50 folks are not ready to read any Cyrillic outside of DOS encoding back in 90th which is CP866.
MK> Speaking of which, what does the cp866 crowd think about your "KOI8-R MK> 2"?
Well, if you stay within the true ASCII range, which is <127, you can claim any, and I repeat ANY charset aka @CHRS, including utf-8. I'm writing in 'CP866 2' now and you are reading me well, just as an example.
NA>> just update that fakken fta-1003

The "bottle neck" is the Randy Bush's copyright on FTS-0000000000000000001 document, which is the essential onboarding material for those who are looking for the specs to write their FTN comparable s/w and it sux.
