Hi Igor,

I'm connecting (ssh) to a linux box which is running it's shells as utf-8.

This is in an xterm (so might be better on the xfree list?) but I couldn't
find anything with regards to getting locales working - most of the
information just said that it [cygwin] didn't support them - so I thought
I'd try the wider list.

At the moment I'm having to resort to putty so if I could get it working
I'd be most appreciative!

Thanks,

J.
