I usually don't respond to my own posts, but I just realized I left 
something unexplained. Fabrice, you mentioned double-byte characters, and I 
called them multi-byte. CCJK are commonly called double-byte languages, but 
in fact the only true double-byte encoding is Unicode. CCJK use a 
combination of single- and double-byte characters. Single-byte characters, 
in the ASCII range (0-127) are generally the same as English. When you 
encounter a byte with the high bit set--that is, 128-255--it signals the 
first byte of a double-byte character.

I hope that makes sense :-) Now, I'm on vacation, so I'm going back to 
doing nothing productive!

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
