I did think about that and to reduce the risk some of the new code only runs
if a Unicode exception occurs. There were only 3 "bad" functions that had to
be fixed, but they occurred in several places, so most of the changes were
similar. 
The concern I had about adding a configuration option was that this would be
beyond most windows user's ability as they just expect the code to work
without having to worry about this kind of stuff, in my experience 99% of
them have trouble working a TV remote, so any help we can give them is good.
Anyway please do have a look at the code and see what you think.

P.S. Did you get a chance to look at the autosync stuff I sent you.
