   Hallo mark!   
      
   Whoa!  Something funky just happened.  I am seeing all sorts of weirdness in   
   your reply and that is from all 3 paths, although 1 of the paths has the word   
   wrapping while the other two doesn't.  Offhand I don't see how a single 0x8d   
   could have caused it but perhaps it did, which makes the schpiel about it in   
   fts-0001.016 very much foreboding ... if indeed that is what caused what I am   
   seeing.   
      
    ml> i may not have the UTF-8 -> CP437 conversion stuff right   
      
   What's to get right?  Just try this on a commandline;   
      
       echo -e "\x8d" | iconv -f cp437 -t utf8   
      
   If you cannot display utf8 characters on your shell then add another pipe such   
   as this;   
      
       echo -e "\x8d" | iconv -f cp437 -t utf8 | xxd   
      
   which will print out this;   
      
       00000000: c3ac 0a                                  ...   
      
   Note the c3ac part.  That is the same as u00ec except in 8 bit hex-speak.  If   
   you're seeing anything else then something is horribly wrong.   
      
   As for KDE I refuse to speak for or against it.  I am indifferent to any GUI   
   apps as far as others usage of them and never use them myself without getting   
   paid extaordinary amounts of pure, hard legal tender by those who would wish   
   me to troubleshoot those apps for them.  Needless to say that never happens   
   which is more reason not to go there.   
      
    ml> all without having to fark around with some other 3rd party   
    ml> muckity muck with your fingers crossed that it will come out   
    ml> properly and not be all screwed up   
      
   Exactly how is that all working out for you?
