   Hey mark!   
      
   Sorry that this "reply" is missing a REPLY kludge but I screwed up and   
   accidently deleted your msg while attempting a new fangled cp437 conversion   
   dealie.  Hopefully this msg does a better job.  :::knock on wood:::   
      
    ml> i'm ~12 days behind right now   
      
   Not bad.  From what I've see most of fidonet is at least 2 decades out of   
   step, probably closer to 3 decades.  ;-)   
      
    ml> they can be converted but not to a single glyph   
      
   That is why I put the hex codes instead of the corresponding unicode.  So for   
   "PERSON FROWNING" on a CP437 display you should see that f0 = ð, 9f = Ÿ, 99 =   
   ™, and 8d =    
   , which is the infamous "loses an eye" character.  Where your editor got the   
   single upside down question mark seems odd to me, especially for both the   
   emoticons which are different from each other albiet both containing the 0x8d   
   trailing byte, which is one of the tests.   
      
   Life is good,

   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
