I'm trying hard to fix this as we speak, but I don't really even know where
to begin. Being a rather stubborn American, I've never had to deal with
other character sets. :-) If anyone knows how to convert these to their
proper forms using Tcl, I'd appreciate the help. However, I'll keep trying
and post to the list if I figure it out.

Thanks for point it out! I hope to fix things ASAP,
