Hi, Helen:
You are very funny. Thanks for the reply.
Seeing doesn't mean understanding, though. I'm an acupuncturist, not a programmer
or database guy. I learn when I have to, although I follow the groups (FB and IBO)
to get a general feeling. Its quite possible that I did the segment size of 15
after reading that segment size doesn't matter (Please, no comments :) ) It looks
like it does in this particular application.
But, you're right I'm an American and the whole world should speak English and I
don't care about character sets. (Hey, I'm really kidding!) The people who will use
the program won't need a different character set either.
you?
Thanks again. I can tell you that I learn a lot from your postings and am looking
forward to your book.
Chuck
