It's a coincidence that this was sent out now, because our organisation was just discussing whether to upgrade. We currently have 1.8d on SunOS 5.8. One thing I have been trying to find out, but which I can find no reference to, is how the latest version of Listserv handles different character sets in the archives. On our version, if you use the web interface to search for an e-acute (say), it will only find those instances of e-acute that match the character set of the webpage. So if you search for an acute e in UTF-8, it will not find ISO-8859-1; and if you search in ISO-8859-1, it will return some UTF-8 Chinese characters in because that is how they look if you display them in the wrong character set. Does anyone know if this has changed in the latest version? Thanks for any help, Michael Appleby Listserv Administrator LINGUIST List
