I'm coordinating a bunch of updates to Frotz[1], including the DOS port. One

allow effortless support for accented characters and alternate alphabets.
We've tested games written for Spanish (diacritical marks) and Russian
(Cyrillic alphabet).
So far, I've found absolutely nothing on doing UTF-8 IO on DOS. Is this
something that can be done without bogging down an original IBM PC? How
would I go about doing it?

My IRC client (which runs fine on a 386/16 at least) internally translates
from UTF-8 -> UCS-2 -> native codepage (usually CP437).
