On Plan-9 all things seem to be UTF-8 based, and when you use C for programming, I would think that C can handle this also. But I only have read some papers about Plan-9 and did not developed on it Only a try to have a different view on it.

And with growing experience on how to handle this in true life (different editors/systems/languages...) I saw, that converting the "so fine tabs" was annoying. The only thing that always worked were spaces. Tab: nice idea but makes programming an annoyance. Ciao, Oliver -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Didn't you heard of that big keyboards? 12 meter x 2 meter wide I think you need a long stick (maybe if you play golf, that can help). The you have all UTF-8 characters there, that's fine, but typing needs some time. But it's good, because when ready with typing your email, it's not necessary to go to sports after work. So your boss can insist that you longer stay at work. Ciao, Oliver ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
