Hello Nicholas,
On Tuesday March 11 2025 17:56, you wrote to me:

I was hoping it would all be hand written. ;-)
So US typewriters only had he letters A-Z. Makes sense. If
"special" chaacters were common on US typewriters they would have been
included in ASCII...
Dutch typewriters had some "dead keys" for the accents. They printed
he symbol but the carriage remained in the same place, so it combined
with the following letter. That is of course where de "dead key" method
in my Dutch keyboard driver comes from.
In the very beginning of the computer age here it was A-Z only
just like in the US. But that quickly changed, Outside the US the
demand for more than just A-Z was too great to ignore. And Microsoft went
along...

I expect you will not run into serious problems setting it up on
your end. We will see how it works out. Getting (part of) Z1 to
paticipate in the UTF nodelist project would be nice. :-)
Cheers, Michiel
