Windows 9x has a Unicode add-on that can be downloaded from the Microsoft site and installed. Does that add-on (MSLU) supply the functionality that we need for Unicode keyboard input? From what I glean from the MS documentation, it does, but maybe I'm missing something. > From Windows XP, the first strand was dropped and replaced with a > crippled version of the second strand. I don't think I understand what you mean by this. Are you referring to MSLU that is the ``crippled version'' of Unicode support that MS now suggest that all Windows applications use?
