interesting... they don't all look right to me... the following is a copy and
paste from firefox to my CP437 editor... some characters are different but the
quantity of them is the same... there is definitely a noticible two character
code point indication that is not translated properly for some reason...

Hey Nicholas!

Just noticed I needed to turn wrapping off and the previous test will have
0x0D's in the wrong places for most people.  This one should be okay.

How about, "Jag har ekorrar i mina byxor!", or for the Russians, "Dœ
D¬DæD«¥? Dý ¥^¥,DøD«Dø¥. DñDæD¯D§Dø!"  Germans might perfer, "Ich habe
EichhArnchen in meiner Hose!"  For all you Ukrainians I must say, "Dœ
D¬DæD«Dæ ¥" Dñ¥-D¯D§D, Dý ¥^¥,DøD«Dø¥.!"  Can't forget the Dutch, "Ik heb
eekhoorns in mijn broek!" or the Greeks, "I^IØI% IŸI§I_I¨I.I?I¨I1 IŸI,I¨
I?IñI«I,IæI¯IOI«I1 I¬I¨I.!"  Last but not least the French, "J'ai des
Accureuils dans mon pantalon!"

Life is good,
Maurice
