I cannot recall now whether I have mentioned it on the list, but
having had a look at Dmitriy's Linux-produced abw file, I suspect
that in this particular case the Linux locale is not correctly set up
and AW is being told by LANG that the encoding is KOI8-R, but
the X server sends it Latin1 keystrokes. I know that in some locale
HOWTO'S the users are told to set up iso-8859-1 and only pretend
that the locale is something else. This works fine with 8-bit
applications, but, obviously, not for Unicode based applications. If
my suspicions are correct, then it is not AW that is at fault here.
I think I will put a note about this in the UnixLocale.txt file.
Tomas
