[Glass] WG: Info on implementation limits

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Christian,

 From engineering:

    I suspect that topaz echo of output
   to stdout , when stdout is to a terminal is messing up the terminal
   when non-ascii characters are involved.  Workaround should be
   to use linux topaz  or  topaz input file and
   output push only
   to a log file (the useage style which he observes works correctly).
