I believe when I Search for someone or log on to the site, they are using CP437. But I'm in the U.S.A., a person outside the U.S.A. may see their web site displaying the Code Page for their locale.

ZON to me meant Zero Ought Nothing. After a few months I thought up Zero Intelligence Quotient for my new Call. Suits Me. 73 de Ed W9ODR . . ....
