So if you try and scrub it on the Linux side it won't find it. I dunno what the hell 0x96 is in MS Word, but if you want a dash, use an ASCII dash and be done with it. :-) Or, if you REALLY want that "ASCII extended" Linux dash (assuming it exists) I'm sure you can strtr(0x96, 0xYY, $string) and get it. Then it won't work on Windows, of course, but who cares about Windows? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
