Ha-ha, unbelievable! How did that happen? First you wrote in Russian at the Internet shop's web page - then it got like that because of them translating Unicode (?) to ISO-8859-1 (which is 8-bit, with the ASCII as its lower half) - ? Why didn't the Internet shop do it? Did they actually think that was a language or some transcription of Russian? How was it translated to Russian at the postal office? I can only make out the first line: Russia, Moscow. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
