   Hello All!   
      
   In reference to previous msg to Michael.   
      
   What character sets are you using both at the system level as LANG etc as in   
   mbse when using english?   
      
      
   Over the last 2-3 years mine now has whiched to using UTF-8 which is causing    
   me   
   some problems and I really do not know why I need 2 byte characters, after all   
   the UK is hardly a country (using english) that needs it.   
      
   I can understand it's used for Chiness, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew etc but not   
   english (Unless I am missing some important point).
