(comp.sys.sun readers won't understand this first bit):
Thanks for all the kind words about the "change of format for the subject
line". Everyone made it sound like I had intentionally made a change and
I was very puzzled. The subject lines "/titan/rif/ss/..." were a MISTAKE!
It won't happen again.
As for "The Unix kernel has always supported 8 bit characters in file
names".....my memory seems to be faulty. 4.2 didn't let you use the
eighth bit. I also forgot to mention (although I did remember) that 4.1
didnt' let you use 0200|'/'. I guess they decided that it looked too much
like a slash when displaying the name.
