If I make an app that works great here in the USA, what worries do I
have (with respect to how data is stored) if it goes overseas? Must I
use unicode? I mean--using English machines as a prerequisite--isn't it
the same ASCII character set?
Honestly, I don't see this app going outside the USA anytime soon but
it'd be nice to understand how this works a bit better.

Good question. I suppose it's possible that different codepages might
have some effect on what binary value is generated but that would be a
big IDK. OTOH if your DB encoding and environment encoding are synced
I would think it shouldn't matter. My last speculative though on the
matter is if your binary value column DB encoding is the equivalent of
machine then other encodings are irrelevant?

Paul Hill had mentioned something about the Code Pages and/or encoding.
I figured that happens to data behind the scenes, not necessarily if
an end-user is touching it. ???

LOL...so back to the remaining question: do you think that non-USA
users might encounter issues if I'm using the binary instead of the
unicode or ansi human readable options? Here they are again from
VFP2C32's help:
* 0 = ansi human readable (38 wide)
* 1 = unicode (76 wide)
* 2 = binary (16 wide)
