the problem is, MS Windows and only MS Windows uses UTF16 instead of the
UTF8 that the entire rest of the world uses, so what looks right in
Notepad or other windows software, is in fact encoded wrong for any
non-MS UTF8 system.  your SSH utility is supposed to be taking care of
the differences, and it generally works with VanDyke's SecureCRT but
I've had issues with PuTTY.
