Cheeky side note: it'd be nice if the author could program their web server to send the correct character set so that the © symbol doesn't show up as �. It's being served with:

    Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8
whereas the charset is actually in ISO-8859-1.


Unsure of the charset standards history, but article is from 2003 and hosted on an edu domain. So possibility since then site has been moved around?


Good call. I sent an email with a UTF-8 version of his article attached to the address listed at http://samizdat.mines.edu/howto/, but it bounced. Any ideas for how to contact him?
