Thank you.
My version of Notepad has a little checkbox in the lower left corner of the
'Save As' dialog box called 'Save as Unicode'.
I never saw it.
'Save as Type' has only Text Documents(*.txt) and All files.
What about the other options, Unicode Big Endian, UTF-8?
There is no entry in the Notepad help.

PS
Maybe I don't need a Linux box after all
:)
