    From memory 0x8d.

    They're not actually ASCII: someone just made them up. I believe
    it's the normal ASCII CR with the high bit set. I see somewhere
    someone's defined it as 0x8D.

    What in the world are these? I don't think I've run into them.

    Soft crs are when the user doesn't press enter, but is word wrapped.

    I've only run into them with Spectre's messages, I just replaced them
    with spaces which makes his messages a bit nicer.

    The soft cr character is an accented I, so what I'm doing will probably
    have issues with languages which use that character, I'm not sure.

    Somethin' somethin' FTN. I understand the intent is to
    signal to consuming software, "this line was wrapped by
    some intermediate software."

    I understand the general "soft CR" concept, but that's not what it traditionally means.... usually it's just "word wrap" (ie: no explicit character = soft).

    Happen to have some packet files for something like this? I'd like to take a peek.

    Sorry I don't, but you should be able to see it in any of spectres
    messages with long paragraphs. Previously mystic was stripping them from messages that passed through. I think it's more just the editor he uses
    puts them in.
