KvE> Just out of curiosity, what is high-ASCII ?   
      
      Usually known as the ASCII characters higher than 0x7f.   
      
    KvE> Because there is no consensus on what is to be represented by these so   
    KvE> called high-ASCII.   
      
      No need to. Every region (outside of Z1 and Z3) -- meaning parts of the   
   world using completely different languages -- takes care of it's own. The rest   
   can simply either ignore it or take the recent technical developments and   
   handle it accordingly.   
      
    BF>> many years now, and I'm still just Bj?rn in the nodelist there... :(   
      
    KvE> It is not the magic on how it is to be done.   
      
      No magic needed. My 15yo Y2K patch can handle it.   
      
    KvE> The option for the control file to enable 8 bit characters is Allow8Bit   
   and   
    KvE> should then be set to "1".   
      
      Maybe you haven't have time to read my recent comments yet? What I'm asking   
   is, why this option is even needed. And if it is, why is the default to have   
   it disabled and not vice versa?   
      
    KvE> you have written there is no single way to write Bj?rn.   
      
      But there is! *I* write it the way I want it. In my Region20 file it's   
   written the way I want it. That's simply the way *I* want it. Freedom of   
   expression, anyone...?   
      
    KvE> But I am still curious, what definition of high-ASCII will be used?   
      
      None at all. If we regard the nodelist as the simple, binary file that it   
   was intended to be from the very beginning, we can put whatever characters   
   that we want in there.
