When I edited my last mail, I deleted (1) - (3) but I forgot to rewrite here. (1) - (3) means: (1) multibyte support, (2) fullwidth and combining support, and (3) rare whitespace languages support. The current Text::Wrap support only (1) even in UTF-8 mode. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
