As i wrote, they are simply being passed on. vgrind previously incorrectly handled char's > 127 by making them negative during a char -> int promotion, and corrected totally bogus output for this negative character. Now, it is simply passed (with no changes!) to the post- processor. groff implies that characters >= 128 are ISO-8859-1. The correct way would be to honour the setting of the current locale, and to convert characters beyond the ASCII base set into the appropriate troff names. (Are there official troff names for KOI8-R?) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)help
