Why are you using unidecode? Unless you are converting the data you read in
to UTF16 data using uniencode then you are passing bad data to unidecode.
unidecode expects UTF16 data. Based on what I've read you shouldn't need to
use unidecode or uniencode. Just read the text in (using binfile),
manipulate it, write the text out (using binfile).
