Yeah. Pity that the local code page is the default everywhere, and to use
Unicode in the GUI one has to dig deep in options, registry, manuals, etc.
And that's not enough, anyway. I still have to discover how to display
Unicode in Visual Basic, for instance. Someone should write a book about
this. ;-)

If "high" and "low" have the usual meanings of "nearer to the user" and
"nearer to the hardware", respectively, then I think that what I said is
true for NT and many other environments. And truth is never wrong.
