yeah, that was only a rethorical example.

i think i need to kill LANG alltogether, it seems to override LC_*;

hmm, of all things unicode should have less problems with german than 
iso-2022.

in any case i am making continuous progress with japanese input,
this is really cool.

interresting observation:
jvim by default writes files in iso-2022-jp.
vi 6 does not handle files in iso-2022-jp and writes euc-jp.
jvim handles files in euc-jp though.

what programs do you use for converting?
i found tcs in the debian archive.
