Hello Nicholas.

06 Nov 23 17:23, you wrote to me:

 NB>>> Would you suggest going back to the b20231028 code then until

Git is somewhat complex, but once you got the idea - you may do a lot of cool
things which other code versioning systems cant. Like reorder commits, move
one branch on top of another, etc.

If you need some help with that - I'll be glad to do it. It's just not right
echo area for those questions. You may shoot me netmail too.

 NB>>> Ah yes. Understood. My local charset is UTF-8. Sometimes I try

 VA>> I use KOI8-R in my case to be able to read russian messages.

You may convert any charset to UTF-8 actually. And it would be really cool to
have UTF-8 support in GoldEd. I'm still learning the code. Will try to improve
things in that area.

 VA>> I see. And you use that fake conversion table from/to UTF-8,
 VA>> right? If you do - my next small fix will help you for sure.
 NB> Yes. The fake conversion table is only to correct my CHRS kludge.
 NB> Otherwise, it doesn't nothing else.

I see. Than my change will help you to fix that issue.
BTW, I've already sent it for review and it will be in master branch soon.
Until then you may build the code from branch RestoreChrsWorkaround.
