Description
An example where UTF-8 in the WIS would be useful is the Russian package, which currently uses CP866. Unfortunately, Ulrich's surname contains an umlaut, which is not present in CP866, resulting in the WarpIN database having an unrecognizable (and less than useful) Vendor name.
This was discussed at some length in the ArcaOS Translators' list on or about 8/17/2021 in the thread, "XWP packaging for languages that do not use CP850."

The Russian WIS was converted to UTF-8 in v1.0.16. A refinement in the way the 'readme' file is handled will appear in v1.0.17.

This sounds like a good idea. Can you provide a sample WIS where UTF-8 is used to good effect?
