Hmm...interesting.  Not entirely sure what the implications of what you 
are saying are (as I don't really understand codepages).

Does a codepage represent a character with 16 bits? or 8?  Could you 
recommend a book or a URL on the subject?  Maybe I should look at this 
when I have more time (I'm in the middle of a move).

Thanks
