BP> So why anyone is pretending to need Unicode is beyond me.   
      
      One good reason is, that there can never be a mix-up anywhere between   
   different character sets. The old ones are so many, that we're bound to get   
   into trouble:   
      
      
     ASCII       ISO 646-1 (US ASCII)   
     DUTCH       ISO 646 Dutch   
     FINNISH     ISO 646-10 (Swedish/Finnish)   
     FRENCH      ISO 646 French   
     CANADIAN    ISO 646 Canadian

     CP866       IBM codepage 866 (Cyrillic Russian)   
     CP848       IBM codepage 848 (Cyrillic Ukrainian)   
     CP1250      Windows, Eastern Europe   
     CP1251      Windows, Cyrillic   
     CP1252      Windows, Western Europe   
     CP10000     Macintosh Roman character set   
     LATIN-1     ISO 8859-1 (Western European)   
     LATIN-2     ISO 8859-2 (Eastern European)   
     LATIN-5     ISO 8859-9 (Turkish)   
     LATIN-9     ISO 8859-15 (Western Europe with EURO sign)   
     IBMPC       IBM PC character sets for European   
     +7_FIDO     IBM codepage 866, use CP866 instead   
     MAC         Macintosh character set, use CPxxxxx instead   
      
      
      But there can be only one UTF-8...
