Suzanne, that's great, thanks. I'll update the benefits page when I get a minute. tex "Suzanne M. Topping" wrote: I'm not all the way through the latest "Benefits of..." thread, but one of the recent notes from Tex which I read requested some sort of confirmation from Microsoft about Unicode-only support. As synchronicity would have it, Dr. International just posted the following URL which touches on this issue: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/articles/winxpintl.asp The specific quote which seems to apply is: "Multilingual computing is made possible by Windows 2000�s native Unicode encoding (UTF-16 little-endian) and its complete support for Unicode. There is no more ANSI/OEM codepage dependency under Windows 2000! In fact, support for new scripts (such as the Indic family, Armenian, and Georgian) is added through pure Unicode encoding and no ANSI or OEM code pages are defined for these scripts. Hence, hundreds of languages are supported out of the box." Apologies if this reference has already been made... Suzanne Topping Vice President BizWonk Inc.
