Suzanne, that's great, thanks.
I'll update the benefits page when I get a minute.

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...
