Hello Sergey,

Good.

It doesn't look like it. Björn does not participate in de UTF nodelist
project. He has his own ideas.. :(

He insists on entering the 'a' and 'o' with umlaut in Säve and Björn in
202/208 in Latin-1 in the normal ASCII nodelist. So in the ASCII list they are
replaced by question marks by MakeNl. In the UTF list which in his case is
just a copy of the ASCII segment submitted, they appear "as submitted" and the
line is flagged as in error by my program.

To get it right Björn would have to be convinced to let go of the idea that
entering LATIN-1 in the regular nodelist is not a good idea. Plus that he
would have to start participating in the UTF nodelist project.

I have tried and sort of given up... :-(


Cheers, Michiel
