I have been working on some new material for inclusion in the User Guide for
the next version.

The first is an Appendix on 'Character Encoding'.

It would be useful if some who are knowledgeable on this subject could give
the time to review it and let me have their comments.

You can find it at http://www.nvudev.org/guide/1.0PR/encoding.htm

Please let me have your comments -- errors -- significant omissions --  
suggestions.

Many thanks

Charles.
