- Oh, yes, there is. It is, however, not possible to have the Scandinavian
- characters AND the brackets etc. ie "{}|[]\" simultaneously.
- But it's perfectly possible to combine Scandinavian characters and
- IBM graphics chars in one char set.

- There's no better solution. It's as simple as that.
-
- >Why mix two perfectly good charsets?

- Why don't you ask the multitude of BBS:s in Scandinavia (at least in

-
- That's why such a charset is needed.
