Beep!  No, alt-a gives a little circle on top (note the absence of the 'a'
part in that statement :-).  Just now I checked under 1.0 - looks the
same as what 1.0 does (be that good or bad).  I believe they are mostly
the same (else, how can we have binary compatibility?)

Hmm, not trustworthy for this - I really don't use diacriticals, thus
do not really know what I'm talking about.  Can just follow what someone
tells me . . . :-)
