   An undocumented `feature' of the current WNCY is the presence of an
endinput statement in the source-file serb.mf.[1]  If this endinput 
statement is edited/commented out, a couple of extra characters (YUSs and
Ukrainian G) will appear somewhere up in the 128 to 255 range.  These were
omitted for purposes of allowing archaic old 128-character-only dvi-drivers
to continue to work, and because these characters were only halfway 
supported anyhow. (e.g. no italic forms).  Still, maybe half a loaf . . .

[1]  Called serb.mf for reasons known only to one of a) the author, b) God.
