No, not me! I am not looking forwards to associating all the bytes in a string 
recognition program to all the code pages either. I am even afaid someone will
find a
way to do this:

byte_sequence1 = these words in slovenian
byte_sequence1 = these words in turkish
byte_sequence1 = some Perl command

thereby making the program not know what was really meant,, or even what
language
it was written in!

Kat,
perplexed,
and maybe one of the following:
ÑÌÓÙÅÍÍÛÉ; ÏÎÑÒÀÂËÅÍÍÛÉ Â ÒÓÏÈÊ; ÑÏÓÒÀÍÍÛÉ; ÑÁÈÂ×ÈÂÛÉ; 
ÁÅÑÏÎÐßÄÎ×ÍÛÉ 
but i am not sure yet
