2) The column for "Char" should show the graphic character (glyph)
for the code, and not repeap column 3 (with extra < >)

I don't understand this comment. Could you say some more.

  An example is missing.  I see for example

quoted

quoted

 252    170     AA      <AA>    FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR

  but it should be (with tabs inserted)

quoted

quoted

 252 170     AA      ª       FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR

  So there is a bug or false configuration

3) There are no tabs in the table!  Have been changed to spaces!

Ahh -- sorry, that was because I did a GUI cut+paste into my mail. The
tabs still exist in the source file.

  Also here is a bug or false configuration.

I've attached the current version of the page. Could you
send a patch (or an edited version of the page) that amends
the page as you see necessary. Send the patch/page as an
ATTACHMENT, so we can avoid any mailer issues.

Thanks,

Michael
