   Hey Alan!   
      
    AI> Yep, AFIK we should be good in this area.   
      
   Yeppers.  Definetly good vibes from the right direction ... despite all the   
   stinkin' Windows software that is.  :::sigh:::  Kids these days eh?   
      
    AI> That's right, on this box I use en_CA.UTF-8   
      
   Okee dokee I think I have you properly adjusted now.  Outputting en_CA.utf8   
   which is basically ascii as it turns out.  I am leaving the default as   
   fr_CA.utf8 though as it will occasionally throw a multibyte character into the   
   extra-special datetime stamp in the message body when appropriate.   
      
   While I have your attention, what do you think about the ftn address splitting   
   routine?  I use it for things like;   
      
     bso_ctrl_basename=$(printf "%04x%04x" $destNet $destNode)   
      
   Works like a charm.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
