seems that way... this is one of those times that i kinda (!) wish i was a C
coder... if i was, i could fix what TimED needs to have fixed... even the y2k
date stuff... but :(

from what i can see, there really should be a reverse translation
capability... much software currently allows for translation from IBMPC, CPxxx
to UTF-8 but nothing goes the other way... there's not even anything that
allows for conversion back from UTF-8 to multiple characters like was used in
numerous other languages in recent years... sure the tables could be built but
no one seems to want to do that... at least, none of those in the know about
such stuff... everyone seems to want to "cop out" to the simple life... so who
am i to try to bring forth anything compatible to the past? :( :?
