Thanks, Tim -- I'll do just that. FWIW, the Persian/Farsi (I'm agnostic on
that non-issue) names for the letters are A-OK.

Stranger than fiction: lynx seems to kinda-sorta read Win-1256. Using lynx
to read aljazeera, you get something like this:

q+a+l+ r+yHy+s+ a+l+w+z+r+a+H' a+l+f+r+n+s+y+ l+y+w+n+y+l+
g+w+s+b+a+n+ ahn+h+ s+y+w+a+f+q+ e+l+j+ a+s+t+g+w+a+b+h+ f+y+ ahtja+r+
t+hkq+y+q+ y+g+r+j+ b+snaHn+ t+m+w+y+l+ i+y+r+ snr+e+y+ l+hkz+b+h+
a+l+a+snt+r+a+k+y+. w+m+n+ snaHn+ h+dkh+ a+l+x+tjw+tm aHn+ t+d+e+w+
l+l+m+q+a+r+n+tm b+y+n+ m+w+q+f+ g+w+s+b+a+n+ w+m+w+q+f+ a+l+r+yHy+s+
a+l+f+r+n+s+y+ g+a+k+ sny+r+a+k+ a+l+dky+ k+s+b+ hkk+m+a+ q+dda+yHy+a+
y+g+n+b+h+ a+l+m+s+a+H'l+tm a+l+q+a+n+w+n+y+tm f+y+ q+dda+y+a+
f+s+a+d+ hkz+b+y+

Annoying, but readable.
Cheers,
Dan.
