Hi, Frank!

There are two sites I would suggest giving a peek at to get a better
understanding of this KOI-8 mess, especially when using a Web browser ...

<http://www.nar.com/tag/koi8_explained.html>
This page explains how to alter Netscape to read KOI-8 for Windows, and
provides links to sites to get KOI-8 fonts.

<http://www.pitt.edu/~mapst57/rus/russian.html>
This page is the ultimate in explaining how to setup up virtually all
things Macintosh to read and write KOI-8/Russian (as well as Mac Cyrillic).

Give both these pages a look, and they, in theory, should help you better
understand what's going on ...
