Hello Eudgine! Thu 16-Sep-99 07:49, you (500:95/468@ZXNet) wrote a letter to Alex Shalin: AS>> I constantly see unreadable letters in fidosh echoes, for which I'm grateful AS>> at least no one is upvoting - is this a problem for me, or for the Amizhniki? EP> It’s just customary to write on the Amiga in Windows encoding. This, to put it mildly, is not true. And it’s interesting, rather just for educational purposes: in St. Petersburg, basically the most DM has spread (encoded by Dmitry Mikhailov, with his own Russifier). B Moscow - Windows. Although there are still the most correct ;) people who use 866. EP> In Amiga echoes they write in Win encoding. In the rest - in standard EP>PC866. This is not true. In all echoes they write _exclusively_ in 866, even in Amiganet (although this is not Fido, but an FTN network), or rather, in the Russian part of it, i.e. in region 24. EP> And the "PC_SUX" kludge there is generally removed in 10 seconds (and without EP> primitive replacement of it with something else). Without a doubt. But the point is that you will get tired of explaining to everyone exactly how to remove kludge from _from_ letters, and pc_sux doesn’t bother anyone, Latin interferes, thanks to which the software on your part tries to recode the body of the letter (although itthis is already the case in 866th). In practice, this recoding is not needed and it’s simpler patch it yourself, leaving the lamers for the moderator. With best wishes, Vladimir.
