All you other people are posting in languages which use ascii characters (aka roman characters) for their writing. But I want to post in Chinese or Japanese or Korean or (to show I am not baised in favor of one side of the world) Farsi or ..... !! Many of the non-roman languages don't have standard transliterations, or if they do, ascii can't handle them. For instance, most transliterations of Chinese (Manderin or Cantonese) require tone markings above each syllable. Some of those tone marks could presumably precede of ?succede? ?postcede? (let's make that follow) the syllable, but some are not even on my keyboard. (i.e. a high flying upside down ^.) So please, in fairness to those of us who wish to replay to your Dutch and Latin and ... in Chinese or ..., please refrain from such postings. xiexie ni -- ________ ( ) Don Stanwyck @( o o )@ 312-979-3062 ( || ) Cornet-367-3062 ( \__/ ) ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck (______) Bell Labs @ Naperville, IL
