   Hey Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> No your wrong, it works according to the fidonet standard.   
      
   If by "works" you mean "does nothing" then it appears to be working well since   
   I have yet to see or hear about any software that actually uses that flag to   
   make adjustments.   
      
    WvV> Keep fighting those windmills! ;)   
      
   Up to now I haven't been fighting.  I've been calling it bitching.  You should   
   be able to tell by the amount of bitching, as well as what I am bitching   
   about, what I am currently working on.  This time it was a random tagline   
   generator that somehow got distracted by TZUTC flags.   
      
    MK>> I could also note that some people are still getting the CHRS wrong   
    MK>> according to fidonet specs.   
      
    WvV> That's true. Although "people" should be "software".   
      
   Okay.  I think in this case the same software that is displaying a faulty CHRS   
   is the same software that;   
      
    WvV> I know golded can when properly configured.   
      
   If so then please explain "CHRS: UTF-8 2" with respect to FTS-5003.  Also   
   golded corrupts utf-8 characters (same with msged) when it tries to actually   
   use them, with or without a CHRS flag.  I haven't noticed if it makes   
   adjustments when it encounters a TZUTC flag.  Does it?   
      
    WvV> If you don't like what they do, you should join them, so you can   
    WvV> change that! ;)   
      
   I'll get right on that.   
      
   Life is good,
