Mayayana,

Well, you got me there I'm afraid.   I'm still a bit hazy about the names of 
the different multi-byte encodings.

The "readall" code pulls the read bytes thru the MultiByteToWideChar 
kernel32 function, and stores the two-bytes-per-character result.

I thought that the above MultiByteToWideChar call would take care of that. 
Though there is a possibility that the "readall" code checks for a UTF-8 
header (EF BB BF) before setting a flag to do so.   (I really should 
re-examine the disassembled code some time ...)
