Hi Timo,

I'm not sure, offhand, about BText handling of unicode 
characters.  Christian, any ideas here?

As far as the browsers, have you tried it in Netscape 6 and 7 or 
Mozilla?  Have you tried it in Opera 6 or 7?  If they work in those 
browsers, then you'll have your answer about Netscape 4 support for greek 
characters.  I do think the problem is lack of browser support.  I wish 
Netscape 4 would drop off the face of the earth.  What a pain it is (was).

You might want to check back with the Localize task.  Actually, check out 
the BConfig app.  Also, check out the latest CVS where the build is 
probably a bit simpler to understand.  Hopefully we'll get a new release 
out sometime soon.  The code is stable and it is mostly ready, but there 
are some things which may move around a bit before release, like moving the 
contrib webapp stuff out into their own modules.
