Re: [AD] ex_utf8 fails

[AJ <ajbaxter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

some of the rantings here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/551656/compiling-utf-8-encoded-source-with-unicode-line-separators
suggest  MSVC  compiler does NOT support utf-8.  even though the editor 
does.


I fail to find any options in the project settings that tell it to use utf8.
the only 'unicode' option is already set.
