thanks.
I am using D5 prof, so I only have access to Indy.
Let me check again.
By the way, any web service requires me to use UTF16, look like it use 4
Hexadecimal digits to represent each byte, is that true?
I am a bit confused by all those standards especially when I already am
confused by the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chinese in Unicode
stuff WITHIN windows itself.
