(In other > words, does it need to be as restrictive with the charsets it will > accept?) screen doesn't use iconv; it looks like everything is manually handled in encodings.c , and only a few encodings are supported. That said, I haven't really had any problems with cp437 characters. My applications send them and screen just passes them right through unmolested. So you have a simple example showing that screen is messing with your characters? -- Dan Nelson [email protected] ------------------------ Yahoo!
