Has anyone managed to get Oregano V1.10 to display international
characters like Russian for example?.

I've tried to use PHP and Webjames following instructions on this site;
"http://www.dracos.co.uk/riscos/programs/koi8r/" but I just get stuck
on the KO18-R/Windows-1251 conversion viewer encoding page.

Well, I would hope I would, yes. ;-)

How do you mean, stuck? You can view the page, but can't view any
conversion? If you enter a site, like http://www.kremlin.ru/ in the text box
on http://localhost/koi8r/ and click Submit, what do you get?

Followed by this;

The requested URL could not be retrieved Whilst trying to retrieve the URL:
http://localhost/koi8r/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkremlin.ru%2F&encoding=win1251
or this depending on which option I choose:
http://localhost/koi8r/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkremlin.ru%2F&encoding=koi8r

The following error was encountered:
Session timed out waiting for document header

I have added my site http://www.stephen.aaugonline.net/index.html/ in the
!WebJames config file but can't tell if it really makes any difference.

Any clues most appreciated,

Hmm, it appears that site now uses some JavaScript or some such to do some
cookie setting and other stuff, which might be affecting my script. Try
turning off JavaScript; it certainly then appears to works here with no
problems.

(The other main KOI8-R site I used for testing purposes also now uses some
JavaScript to 'force' frames which confuses my simple script; again, it's
fine with JS off. :-/ )

Thanks for the help Matthew,
I have turned off JavaScript but still get the same error message as
above accessing either "http://kremlin.ru/" or an alternative Russian
website "http://www.ladaclub.hu/russian.html" that does not appear to
use JavaScript.

I'm wondering if there might be something incorrectly configured with my
setup even though I've tried my best to follow the instructions.

Regards.
