Please, no! I'm trying to write administrator utility for NDS and I want
to support all 0x110000 characters possible... It is true that Novell's 
NWADMIN/NETADMIN/ConsoleOne handle only small portion (normal versions
256 characters from your 8bit codepage), but I want to be better...

Of course, if you have equivalent userspace (library) solution, fine...
But it must be completely seamless, so that 'nwdsread | tee output' still
produces correct japan glyphs on screen.
