hi,
I was out of town for the past week, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes,
I found your updates in test.conf. I think UTF-8 support is working
sufficiently well - no issues that I can find.
BTW, do you think having a configuration file editor will be an added
advantage? I was thinking about creating a curses/gtk/qt based UI
using this library. What do you think?
Jinesh.
