Hello Michiel!

I would be interested as well... I see kludge UTF8, which I guess is linked 
with XLAT tables?

For example here - in .42 conferences we use very old coding CP895. To be able 
to even read/and write that in Golded, I use XLAT between them...

So my shell is like:

LANG=en_US.utf8

How I run golded (to achieve LATIN-2 within UTF8):

luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' ./gedlnx -f

and how CFG is setup to handle CP895 (these .chs I have long time already)

XLATPATH /home/.../golded/xlat
XLATCHARSET CP895 LATIN-2        kam_il2.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-2 CP895        il2_kam.chs
XLATIMPORT CP895
XLATEXPORT CP895
XLATLOCALSET LATIN-2

It would be interesting to skip that LATIN-2 hop-

(But I dont use Czech in INT echo, of course...)
