Aah.. It's really my fault. Ancient books include ASCII tables

Just send 8 bits don't do. However I don't see it very intensive in your

ext2fs will be encoded in UTF-8 ? That's quite a hard decision to be
made, though...

No, pity. Microsoft hasn't provided a way to change the current code
page (in any 16-bit-character version), and I ought to install Japanese
version of Windows 95 for manipulating Japanese messages. How ugly!
