Hey, my limited knowledge of computer language reminds me that C isn't the best when it comes to string handling.

Back in the day when we were trying to make DOS into a useful operating system by developing BBSs, doing multi language support was difficult. It was great fun in QuickBasic and script language, doing multi-lingual stuff, including Jive, Klingon, and Austrailian. At one point I started porting stuff to Yahi (California Yana indian dialect recorded by Theodore Kroeber earlier in the century) in the event that Ishi came back to life and needed to call my BBS. :)
