I honestly believe a new        MK> offline format is required.              No one seems to be interested in building a new offline packet        system.              Maybe a new packet system that supports some utf-8 and        integrated with a local message management database system        would be quite nice for people who are primarily interested in        just the echomail from any FTN-based system. Oh wait.. it        already exists - it's called OpenXP! :D              As for "supports some utf-8", it's primarily limited what the        DOS terminal [char sets or font seletion] system can do or not.              Oh.. another system that *does* claim to support a broader        implementation for utf-8 is WinPoint.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 134 206 300 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 291/111 292/8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/267 280 384 410 414 418 420 422 509 2744 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
