Comments were wrong, too.

I doubt style(9) says anything about UTF-8 as style(9) has been
around a long time.

Can you inline the code after your sig?  It is easier to review
and comment on; otherwise, I have to save the attachment, open
it in a window, and copy-n-paste.

It amy also be prudent to start a new thread as this subthread
may get lost.  The question is where.  I'm not subscribed to
