Even a humble configuration file can have comments and text strings with non-ASCII characters; e.g. names of people or organisations. This is even more true for source code, which frequently have these in the copyright notices as a simple example. I don't see how adding an editor to Debian that can't handle at least the default encoding of the operating system -- UTF-8 -- is in any way a service to the users. > , not another buggy and/or bloated editor of multibyte encodings.

Filing bug reports is always a correct response in such cases. -- \ "Time's fun when you're having flies." -- Kermit the Frog | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
