I'll let him know...

And of course I will take read this myself, too.

In fact he does not want "Better_Unicode_Support" but 
*no_unicode_support* ;-)

But maybe this is possible somehow....

The code does not depend on Windows system codepage at all. The just 
receives text (characters) from TCP/IP, converts it using databases and 
some "embedded"/"realtime" conditions and sends it out via TCP/IP. Not 
windows or other codepages "implicitly" involved. If some o the work 
needs codepage conversion, this is done explicitly in user code.
