9fans,

i realize that this is not the ideal forum but it seems that 
rc-fans@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.ca is defunct and tim goodwin
hasn't (yet) answered my email...

this is all you need to make byron's rc utf-8 compatable.

you should be able to do this

	; α = 1; echo $α

and this
	; ~ α [αβ] &&
		~ α . &&
		~ β [α-γ] && echo works

with this patch.

i have not tested this with 4-byte utf-8 sequences, due to the fact
that p9p doesn't support 32bit unicode. but, barring a typo they should work.
