What about Linux, Unix, Sun OS, Solaris, Irix, : Mac OS, OS/390, z/OS, MVS, VM, DOS, Risc OS ....? Does your Pluto reader on risc support ANSI, or at least VT-100? Usenet doesn't make it easy to post anything but ascii text, do you know how to post ANSI? Don't pay any attention to me, I am just disappointed that HTML doesn't support ANSI or the IBM high characters. Joe Fischer -- 3
