For 5a1, an "import codecs" is needed to include all the codecs.
For 5b2, you get codecs unless you specify --ascii to Makespec.py.

With 5b2, I get the same answer from the exe as I get from running
it in Python: the round trip doesn't work. I assume that's because
Tk makes it's own (conflicting) assumption about encoding.
