    MK> Okay that looks better.  I have you down as en_US.utf8 and EST5EDT.    
   Should   
    MK> be no issue given your hidden CHRS thingy which is totally bogus btw.  ;-)   
      
   it is/was only a fluke... this reader/editor doesn't do utf8 wortha flying   
   eff... i'm going allthe way back to CP437 if i can specifically to be able to   
   properly view the 8bit graphics drawing glyphs...

    MK> 1999-ish to 2005-ish.  It started out as a 'fix' to some issues I had at   
    MK> the time.  I only picked it up again later on and started calling it   
    MK> WeBeBashing.   
      
   ok... plain type 2 does have its limits... that's why everything pretty much   
   moved on to 2+ and/or 2.2...   
      
    ml>> type 2+ and type 2.2...   
      
    MK> Probably 2+ if that is the one without the domain in the header.  Also I   
    MK> thought there was an incarnation without a broken apart localtime thingy   
    MK> which I never got working with anyone but was attractive since I never was   
    MK> a fan of any ftn datetime stamps to be quite honest.  Currently the pkt   
    MK> header that gets tacked on prior to uploading contains a 16-bit month   
    MK> ranging between 0-11 which is not only a waste of bits but also silly   
   since   
    MK> numerically June is actually 6 and never 5 ... except amongst certain   
    MK> progammers who insist the first on EVERYTHING is actually 0 which in this   
    MK> case it isn't ... except it is.  :::sigh:::   
      
   welcome to the real world ;) :lol:   
      
    ml>> we're not too far of in our likes and dislikes, contrary to   
    ml>> popular belief...   
      
    MK> Speaking for myself I was never aware there was any conflict between us,   
      
   maybe not but there have been times that were quite undesirable...   
      
    MK> although I can understand why some might think there was.  Definetly   
    MK> no conflict as far as I am concerned and I never was under the   
    MK> impression there was any at your end.  As far as I know I get the   
    MK> impression we like to take pokes at each other when the opportunity to   
    MK> do so arises, such as your bogus CHRS thingy.  ;-)   
      
   no... i don't care for all that poking and oneupmanship mess... i never have   
   liked it... but whatever...
