Looks like that's what I'll have to do.  It's a minor inconvenience, but
doable.  It's too bad that the tools won't handle Unicode and that DP
(apparently) can't be configured to use alternate encoding methods.

Incidentally, DP only uses Unicode in Windows.  In Unix, it uses ASCII.  The
problem with "standards" is that there are so darn many of them!  ;-)
