Hi, Anyone interested in Unicode support in Hugs (what it lacks so far) please check out this URL: http://www.golubovsky.org/software/hugs-patch/article.html I have written a patch for the November 2002 release of Hugs that enables internal handling of Unicode characters by Hugs. The URL above points to the article I wrote to explain the details. The article also contains links to download the patch itself and the demonstration/testing program. Any feedback is welcome. I am especially interested to hear from the core developers of Hugs whether they are intersted to incorporate these changes into the current CVS version and into future releases. PS Hopefully this livens up the traffic on the list - for several months there have been too few messages. -- Dmitry M. Golubovsky South Lyon, MI
