Karen,
A unicode file uses Two Bytes per Character, so the phrase "Stay out of Karen's way" would look something like:
"S t a y  o u t  o f  K a r e n ' s  w a y".

I might be able to do this using DLCall and the MultiByteToWideChar Function.. I'll let you know.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Need help with an import filetype


I'm trying to import a file which was described to me as a "unicode text
file", although it is saved with an .xls extension. You can bring the file
up in Excel (it uses a tab delimiter to do it) and re-save it as another
format, and that's what we've been doing. But they'd rather not have to do
this.  I am unable to find an import type that will bring this file in.
Ascii tab delimited doesn't work because it is not an ascii file. This is the
client that's still in 6.5, but I can't find anything in 7.6 either.

If anyone would like to give this a shot, email me privately and I can ship
you the file.

Karen
