By the way, many think it is a good idea to use real names in mailing list correspondence.

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
