As a follow up - how about 16bit, like SJIS? Or just 8bit? Jim Thanks for the reply from Jim What is SJIS? Do you mean the number of character to represent a character by 16 bits or 8 bits? It is not clear to me... And I want to know there is a problem to index KOREAN languange.. looking forward to hearing from you.. thanks again. david k.Received on Fri Feb 18 22:33:53 2000
