Don't replace the vertical bar without also changing ASCII to ESCII. If you define a new charset ESCII and use it instead of US-ASCII, then you can change your default charset, and at least there will be some hope of avoiding disaster. I'm afraid that it will be necessary to explain to people *why* otherwise attempting to *redefine* an *existing* character in a character set is different than *defining* a new set which bears a strong resemblance to the old. -- http://www.parc.xerox.com/masinter
