This information shouldn#t be part of the docreg file. Every document has got a language and every language has got a char set. So a program like dhelp could read the Language: tag. Using this information the program knows that the informations uses Latin1. A real important question: is it possible to show different char sets on one WWW page?

Where can I get informations about UTF-7? cu, Marco -- Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/5202.15 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
