[TxMt] Double-byte character support

[Sean Schertell]

It is indeed a big old hairy wart on TM's otherwise beautiful face  
that it can't do non-western languages.  I only hope that by not  
happening "in the nearest future" Allan meant that it would be coming  
reasonably soon just not right away.

I know lots of folks here in Japan who would love to use TM but  
simply can't because of this.  Guess we'll just have to hope and wait.

:-)
