Sorry, I just realized that I might have replied to something
that you didn=E2=80=99t actually say.  Ignore that part of my email
if you didn=E2=80=99t mean compatibility with other operating systems.

As for the change, my concern is basically the following.  The
only effect of this commit is that all the users with the
=E2=80=98russian=E2=80=99 login class will be automatically switched =
from KOI8
to UTF8 as a part of the next update.  Do we actually want
this to happen?
