+FM/2 3.16: This release makes changes that should allow FM/2 to be 
+translated into different languages. It also adds date and number 
+formatting based on the system locale settings. We now need to find

+Currently, double bit character sets are not supported in FM/2.

+We have also fixed multiple minor annoyances such as improving
+detection of text verses binary files when opening viewers and
