1. Back again after a week by the sahel samunder

G'day.

While I was away enjoying the hava namkeen I thought, hey why not suggest a
CEAN. After all we've got the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network), the CPAN
(flan flan Perl flan flan*) so why not the Comprehensive Euphoria Archive
Network?

Zaph.

* Is there a standard way of indicating a nasalised vowel in 7bit email?

It's called the RDS homepage. ;) There are also two subsidiaries
called 'The mailing list' and 'The newsgroup' :) :)

Not that I know of, although I've seen people use TeX and pseudo-TeX to
define characters.

Two characters used for the nasalisation caused by the 'n' in Gallic
languages are (in pseudo-TeX) \n-with-overdot and \n-with-g-descender.

To ASCII art for a sec:
  .
 +-.   and   +-.
 | |         | |
               |
              -'

But all this is academic, as Anglophonic languages tend to use 'blah'
rather than 'fla\n-with-overdot"  to represent insignificant speech :)

HTH,
Carl
