hi all,

i just thought you should know that i've decided not to convert the !
character at this time. i don't really need to use it, and it has the
chance to cause some confusion.

however, i am thinking about changing afpd's name mangling to use
isprint() instead of isascii(). the current test lets ^M pass by
unscathed. as a result, this change will break backwards
compatibility, especially with icons. i'll have the adv1tov2 utility
go through and do an (isascii() && !isprint()) test to figure out what
to convert. so, how do people feel about that?
