  • Can't confirm that. In the 90s encodings were a nightmare. ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, CP1252, IBM850, ...

I'm not an English native, my world is full of umlauts and s-z ligatures. Things got A LOT better in the last years, thanks to Unicode encodings.

But I don't care for the outfits
What I care about is music
And the communists have the music

    Jump

  • You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.
