   Hallo Kees!   
      
    KvE> Kludges are only there to cover deficiencies.   
      
   One thing for sure is that they don't solve anything and more often create   
   more deficiencies.  The lack of a '+' character for offsets east of prime   
   meridian is a case in point as well as the so-called level in the CHRS   
   kludge.  However I do see a need for identification of the 8 bit character   
   sets although I wish the FTSC would have used proper aliases as given by those   
   who own them.  LATIN1 is a very good example.   
      
    KvE> In het Brabantse land.   
      
   They stole my line!!!  Tsk, tsk.  I did see somewhere that someone   
   unsuccessfully tried to sue over palagerism.

   Your loss.  It remains the best editor ever created, although when I first   
   encountered vi I absolutely hated it.  That was a very long time ago in a land   
   far, far away.
