Yes, NT 4 was Unicode at the core. Most applications at the time, though,
still used ISO 8859.x. In fact, a lot of apps still do. That's one of the
reasons I'm doing C++ now, not Director. Director still lacks any Unicode
support, though I think they're adding it in the next rev.

I'm pretty sure UTF-8 is has the same characters as ASCII in the first 128
slots. It may be the same as ANSI for the next 128, but I'm not sure.
Anybody know?

Cordially,
