Alright!  Alright!  Y'all SHAMED me into it!!    :-)   :-)  :-)

I've been putting off dealing with character encoding for as long as I 
could, but it's time I finally got into it and did things right.

Gimme a little time and I'll get an encoding-friendly version of Avatox out 
as soon as I can--day job and other responsibilities permitting.

Thanks for the beating, I will now became a better person because of it :-)

(Manuel, if you'd be so kind as to send me a standalone compilable example 
of Ada code that uses an alternate character set that I could use as an 
Avatox test case, I would be most grateful.)
