Finale to UTF-8 compliant means they must rewrite the db engine from the ground up, in my guesses. It's a huge deal. Most of the software industry moved onto UTF-8 around year 2000. Finale missed the boat. DOS never made it. If I remember correctly, NT was designed to UTF-8 compliant but data passing wasn't even 100% working when Win2K (NT5) came out. I think XP (NT6) was still using M$CP (Microsoft propriety code page), instead of Unicode, to print to GUI. I am curious if NT7 is finally printing to GUI in Unicode like Mac/Linux/Unix does. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
