I'm also using Tom Dell's Waffle ( I don't call it a BBS, though, as that leads people to expect "menus and messages" instead of a "prompt and articles") and am going to modify it (I signed up for the C source code) to handle not only English and foreign vowels, but Japanese kanji as well. * Beware: There are places in Waffle V1.63 which strip the 8th bit! Right now I'm running Waffle on a 386SX and have been trying to get a copy of the UNIX version as I now have all the pieces for an Interactive System V/386 system. I'v emailed Tom three times now at but no reply. If anybody (especially Tom) knows his whereabouts, would you let me know here in alt.bbs (I don't have email to the internet worked out yet).
