Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> No your wrong, it works according to the fidonet standard.

If by "works" you mean "does nothing" then it appears to be working well since
I have yet to see or hear about any software that actually uses that flag to
make adjustments.

 WvV> Keep fighting those windmills! ;)

Up to now I haven't been fighting.  I've been calling it bitching.  You should
be able to tell by the amount of bitching, as well as what I am bitching
about, what I am currently working on.  This time it was a random tagline
generator that somehow got distracted by TZUTC flags.

 WvV> That's true. Although "people" should be "software".

Okay.  I think in this case the same software that is displaying a faulty CHRS
is the same software that;

 WvV> I know golded can when properly configured.

If so then please explain "CHRS: UTF-8 2" with respect to FTS-5003.  Also
golded corrupts utf-8 characters (same with msged) when it tries to actually
use them, with or without a CHRS flag.  I haven't noticed if it makes
adjustments when it encounters a TZUTC flag.  Does it?

 WvV> If you don't like what they do, you should join them, so you can
 WvV> change that! ;)

I'll get right on that.

Life is good,
Maurice
