Terry, please, can you answer more detail then simple "Lots of code"? Please send me program names list (used in FreeBSD, base & ports areas) and I'll try to fix them. Currently I don't bother about 0x00, because koi8-r and iso8859-* have ascii-compatible lower half, so I bother only about 0xff. -- Andrew A.
