I think that it is inevitable that eventually FreeBSD will *need* to support unicode if it wants to continue as a viable operating system in the future. This means that it probably will need to be modified from the ground up. I am not well versed in the specifics of what's needed, but if someone could explain it to me I'd be gratefull. Is it possible, or is it totally out of the question? What would it require? Is there any way of implementing partial support, working in stages, untill it is fully supported? Thanks, Mike. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
