However, I can only see it because Windows can handle just about anything the InterNet can throw at it. I imagine that quite a few Unix and terminal users are wondering why you posted a letter full of garbage characters that causes their machines to lock up! The moral of this tale? Better stick to vanilla Ascii, say *NO!* to the eighth bit. DR J
