Ah, yes I now vaguely remember about the locale being introduced. Sorry if
my post was misleading.
The unicode part is still true though, and I wonder about the Greek
characters... This could perhaps be solved by a locale I guess, after all
it's just another encoding set. Mixing with English would be a bad idea,
though. I do not dare to say much more though ;-(
