>>>These work excellently, for the most part, with MSIE 3.0.
After >>>loading them, I could view the separate announcements
in Simplified >>>and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and
Romanian. However, the Russian >>>page didn't work at all, and
I'm not sure why. The Central European >>>service pack includes
several Cyrillic fonts, which I believe are >>>encoded as ISO
8859-5, but MSIE 3.0 doesn't appear to recognize that
>>>encoding declaration. It also can't deal with the all-
language pages >>>in either UTF-8 or NCRs. >>IE 3.0 supports
neither ISO 8859-5 nor Unicode. Both of these will, >>I hope, be
supported by IE 4.0. >You can assume that. >>>Does anyone have
an explanation of how MSIE is able to convince the OS >>>to deal
with these encodings,
