I will give you a simple example: My keyboard has a key for the \~n letter (using TeX notation) which is used in the Spanish language. When I press that key, I *expect* to produce such character. Not obtaining that letter but some other is completely annoying for me. It is as if I pressed "t" and obtained "y". Completely unnaceptable. Since you don't have such key in your keyboard, you have nothing to worry about, but even if you would have that key in your keyboard, and you don't want to produce such character, just don't press that key! Where is the problem? I don't see any problem at all! > Great. I am already persuaded that I was wrong about "less". Ok. Please, tell me another example of a program that should not allow 8-bit input (and output) by default. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNLfNvCqK7IlOjMLFAQENUgQAs9yOZLYfL0ywHs8RhO8DeZyvOFE4d7dz ffhFvUF/TLgLi3A8HkV5OmkuadLZrFLCHQgj1/42+rwlDCd6HBBnnaY78z1PWssp 8ppp5OYKkuJ0x+TqZHGdg/tihlYp1n3UrIeor6kuXQ6Fa+lO5uYaviDMg/KEhoYR LfmaYORFtpk= =oMaI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
