        Everything in Hiram's Composite is in the FM code set, so that's
not an issue at the moment, but don't forget Klaus's stuff for dealing
with > 255 character encodings.   Though it may not seem urgent at the
moment, in due time absence of such support will make Lynx "obsolete" in
more than just the "personal opinion" sense.

        If we want Rob's and Klaus' stuff in a v2.7 "official release"
reasonably soon, it would have to blow off VMS.  Alternatively, we
could start final debugging of what's presently in the FM code, release
that as v2.7, and have Rob, Klaus (and David with the cateloged message
mods he's been working on) update to that, and then continue again as we
had planned four months ago for v2.6.
