    NB> Grabbing it as I reply. Unless I already have/use some crazy updated one   
    NB> already, but I doubt it.   
      
      LOL! Well, that version of Makenl is the one I have used ever since 1998   
   when I patched it, so I think you can safely use it. :)   
      
    NB> Is this because Ward isn't compatible with your revised segment? or is   
    NB> it just not ready yet?   
      
      My segment is sent to him every week, but honestly I have no idea what   
   version he uses. My latest segment can always be downloaded as   
      
   http://felten.yi.org/FILES/BBS/REGION20.ZIP   
      
      ... and as you can see, my 203/6 node there has the 'ö' character in my   
   name intact (no question mark).   
      
    NB> So apparantly this is an issue that's been wanting change by some for   
   quite   
    NB> some time now. As you've already put quite a bit of work into it.   
      
      Oh yes. I've been working on this for the better part of the 20 odd years   
   I've been connected to fidonet. But only lately there's been some interest   
   from parts of fidonet outside of the non-English speaking regions.   
      
    NB> Some people just don't like to change things, even if it is for the   
    NB> better of the community as a whole.   
      
      Amen to that. And not only in fidonet, I might add. :)
