I would love to, though having a development server and customer's server with differences makes me uneasy.

Our customers include companies with very old systems. I suspect that their data is presently is sjis or similar and they want to keep it that way. It makes me nervous and I wish someone had mentioned it when I was setting up the dev server.

In 18 years of living in Japan, I'd never come across that site. I don't read that much, let alone in Japanese ...


I think I'll do some local testing and see if how I can break sjis ...
