    MK> Whoa!  Something funky just happened.  I am seeing all sorts of weirdness   
    MK> in your reply and that is from all 3 paths, although 1 of the paths has   
   the

   something that would show CP437 properly...   
      
    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   
      
    MK> Exactly how is that all working out for you?   
      
   as i said, i tried numerous things and nothing seemed to work as expected...
