(As far as >the non-printables, I agree that LS is supposed to do, but is non-breaking >space really a non-printable?) touch "alt<ALT-space>space" "regular<space>space" env LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 ls alt space regular space env LANG= ls alt?space regular space I believe that most (not quite all) character sets in which 0xa0 is defined at all use it for unbreakable space. (But it is not defined in 7-bit ASCII, which is the FreeBSD default.) Greg Shenaut To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
