Hey Nicholas!

Sounds good. I looked around everywhere I could think of without any luck other than some references that led nowhere significant. As for a compiler I doubt I really need one but would appreciate documentation as to valid characters as well as what fields multibyte characters are allowed (eg BBS name, sysop name, etc).
NB> Then and only then would you need to "process" anything at your NB> end.
The only reason there would be a need is if and when any locals wish to replicate what I have done to keep Fidonet alive on anything I have any influence over. At the moment only one neighbour has ever expressed interest and I've tried to get him to use online BBS's instead but he insists on doing it my way-ish. I think he thinks he is better than me. The fool. ;-)
Anyhow he especially likes my old English random taglines and is very jealous which is probably why I keep them. They are utf-8 and need to be since the latin1 based 8 bit character sets lack some of the required characters. I am missing one but it never comes up and I don't think the Anglo-Saxons used it much (ever?).
Life is good, Maurice
