OK. I can see the difference when reading the usenet group can.francais.
For example, the article "FAQ - les accents francais et Usenet", the
following paragraph:
+ Oy qu'il riside, ` Nnmes ou mjme Capharna|m, tout Frangais inscrit au rtle
rhglera son d{ avant Nokl, qu'il soit naof ou rbleur. ;
Reading this (that is -- the original - hopefully properly copied here) from
netcom.com using MS Kermit 3.13 displays this ISO-8859-1 text correctly, but
not MS Kermit 3.14 with the nearly out-of-the-box configuration.
Sorry for not being too clear about this in my previous posting. I haven't
deleted 3.13 from my system yet, so I'm doing a side-by-side comparison. I
assume I'm having some obvious configuration problem that I can't locate in
the help - but that can be easily fixed.
