       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. :)              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
