Hello List, I am writing some C code which involves ASCII characters: in C related books, we can find a lot of comments about ASCII character issues, as far as we are concern with portability. Nevertheless, something bothers me: where non-ASCII environment can be found ? Furthermore, can such an environment be created on a Debian box ? The aim is to check the portability of my code. Thanks in advance, Jerome -- Jerome BENOIT jgmbenoit-at+rezozer*dot_net
