what idea? using that character as a soft-cr in fidonet?

i'm not sure but it should be documented somewhere in the FTSC documents... i
know i've seen it many times in the past... especially when i was using new
software that had an option to recognize them or not... with the option on,
they acted like cr... with the option off, you could see them and languages
that use them were readable when they were used... they were most often seen as
 what some would call a random sprinking of them but if you counted, you could
easily see that it wasn't random...
