heard to utter:
The only thing it doesn't support (and I've no idea why) is
Unicode-only characters (e.g. the degree symbol and fractions).

The Degree symbol is ASCII 0176, and 0188, 0189, 0190 are ¼, ½, ¾
respectively. i.e. NOT Unicode-only.

HTH



Eddie, for an Oxford alumnus you can be remarkably dense sometimes... ;o)
What is my computer...? What is the OS...? And what is that OS built on...?

ASCII seems to be a Windoze thing these days - Tiger does not appear to have
higher ASCII support. Don't believe me...? I'll send you a screen grab.

Under the Mac OS you don't hold down Alt and key in a number on the numerical
keypad to enter an ASCII character. You have to drag and drop it from the
Character Palette.

Under OS X they are Unicode only and my news-reader does not support them.

Have you ever used a Mac, Eddie...? No...? Then don't tell a Mac user they're
wrong.
