it seems that characters 32-127 (ie, 7-bit) are standard everywhere.
characters 160-255 are pretty well standard (but don't be too sure) --
that includes all the western European accented letters.
it's the middle line on the usual chart, 128-159, that causes the
problems. that line includes quotemarks (French, German, English) and
dashes (N, M and minus), and Windows and Acorn disagree about their
positions.
