annotate netinstall/README @ 2622:c8a9be2d4728

[xemacs-hg @ 2005-02-28 23:36:30 by aidan] Add details about losing data to the unicode-to-char docstring. The Mule character encoding model means that extant Unicode coding systems will lose data. Make this clear in the docstring of unicode-to-char, give sample code to implement support for some desired code points should our distributors want to do that.
