I disagree, at least in this case. The original query I made was about "how
things like high-ASCII characters are handled" by the sort command. In that
context, the character set involved is irrelevant to the question, and only
relevant to the answer if such characters can be handled at all (ie, the
answer might well be that it treats them as MacRoman, or whatever).
I'm sorry the term "high-ASCII" seems to offend, but it seems to me that its
meaning on a Mac mailing list is pretty obvious, something that all the
replies seem to confirm.
