Ron,

I agree that Unicode is something which needs some attention soon.  I  
am in the beginning stages of moving an application over to Unicode  
as we are adding Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, etc. to the  
app.  There are still lots of holes in the Unicode support that make  
it very difficult.
