   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> what idea? using that character as a soft-cr in fidonet?   
      
   Yes.  Are you aware of any FTN approved software that actually used that   
   character as a soft line feed?  Most, if indeed not all, of the fidonet   
   compatible editors I've seen in action used 8 bit character sets - 99.9% of   
   which were the IBM character sets, CP437 being the number one codepage - which   
   would produce an actual printable character for 0x8d and never a soft line   
   feed, not even the ones that see 0x8d as a control code, such as iso-8859-1.   
      
    ml> i'm not sure but it should be documented somewhere in the FTSC   
    ml> documents   
      
   fts-0001.016 states, and I quote;   
      
        So called 'soft' carriage returns, 8DH, may mark a previous   
        processor's automatic line wrap, and should be ignored.   
        Beware that they may be followed by linefeeds, or may not.   
      
   It doesn't say anywhere that applications that use 0x8d as a control code are   
   FTN compliant or even compatible.  I'd guess by the above quote that they   
   aren't given the 'should be ignored' part.   
      
   Life is good,
