i hope you didn't add their support on my account -- i can
imagine it was a lot of work -- what makes script 173 so
perfect for me is the fact that it comes with a perl script
(bdua2b.pl) you can filter an ascii box through and it will
turn it into a utf-8 box, thus dovetailing with my overall
desire to not complicate my vim with any plugins -- i'm a huge
fan of 173 -- had it for 34 days and have not, nor have i any
intention of ever installing it as a plugin

the only trick to using it is you have to be careful if you're
filtering a bash script through it not to filter any lines
with an ascii pipe symbol -- it'll convert those too
