Make sure that your software is able to support 8 bit IBM ASCII and
not only 7 bit that only has [, \, ], {, |, and } because a _LOTeuropean contries use special characters. For instance in Denmark we
use the concanation of: AE, OE, AA, ae, oe and AAwriting style, now its: A and E put together, O with a slash, A with a
little circle on top, ae put together, o with a slash and a with a
little circle on top!). And that isn't that bad! If your application
is able to sort text THEN you got trouble!!! The three Danish letters
is just appended to the alphabet after Z but some insert characters different places!!!
