Just for the sake of satisfying the curious, when using swedish 7-bit characters; the character '{' is a lover-case 'a' with umlaut (two dots over it) the character '}' is a lover-case 'a' with a small ring over it the character '|' is a lover-case 'o' with umlaut the character '[' is an upper-case 'A' with umlaut the character ']' is an upper-case 'A' with a small ring over it and the character '\' is an uppercase 'O' with umlaut I don't know the linguistic term for the little ring. Do I get todays point for worthless knowledge ? ;-) -- Mats Karlssohn, developer mailto:mats@mida.se Mida Systemutveckling AB http://www.mida.se Box 64, S-732 22 ARBOGA, SWEDEN Phone: +46-(0)589-89808 Fax: +46-(0)589-89809
