I have a quick question.  I've been playing with the VB runtime support
in mono and I've run into a problem between platforms.  I do most of my
development on Windows using VS.2003 but after I compile a project, I
test it against the mono runtimes and I'd created a sample console
program to test the mapping from one character encoding to another.  On
Windows, the test program works perfectly.  I'm able to pass a string of
one encoding type into my conversion assembly and have the program go
through the requisite lookup tables to pull the corresponding UTF-8
values and return the re-mapped string.  However, when I move this test
case to fedora, all the special characters are filtered out.  I'm
wondering if anyone might have any advice.

Thanks,=20
