No, I'm sitting at an NT workstation right now, and I see no way to do Unicode
in Notepad. In fact, the 'View Source' menu selection on my browser blithley
opens Notepad to view html, and everything shows up as boxes but the ascii
tags.

On Windows 98 I can do utf-16 using Wordpad --it's not so bad-- so you can
imagine my surprise when the NT workstation at the library reported, "Unicode
text file support had been removed from this version of Wordpad."

I immediately thought it was a cynical attempt on Microsoft's part to get us to
use Word 2000, also installed on the Workstation, but, as I said, it's so fat,
I hate using it.

Otherwise, I have no idea why they did it.

Search your memory. If you did see Unicode in Notepad on NT, I'd be interested.

Thanks,

Elvis
