I did find some stuff in google that said all you needed to do to get Unicode
support in the HTML Help Compiler was to change the meta tag to UTF-8.
However, I was not able to get this to work.

Have you found an example of a CHM file that was done in Unicode? Maybe you
could use the workshop tools to decomple it and see how it was set up.
I may have found one. The SCRIPT56.CHM download from Microsoft is about 1.28
Mb. Within the past two months, someone posted a blurb about a free scripting
editor called VbsEdit. Part of the installation was a SCRIPT56.CHM whose size
is 2.77 Mb, leading me to believe it may use a non-ansi encoding. I haven't
found any content in this file that is different from the one I downloaded
from Microsoft.

Paul,

Thanks a million for your input !

I noticed that when the HTML files were Unicode, the actual compile of
the CHM was WAY WAY slower then text. The compiler never whined
or errored out, but the Unicode pages all came up in kanji. Not sure about
you but the last time I checked, Kanji was not one my supported reading
languages.

I took what Anthony submitted and used that to save as ISO-8859-1 which
is how they were originally and all seems to be well. The comiler likes the
files
and all the symbol fonts come through fine which was not the case with the
cheesy Unicode to Text coversion posted earlier. The part I needed was how
to get the IE Document Object HTML in to ADODB and Anthony had the
answer. I was messing up by using the XMLHTTP object in the middle
when that was unneccessary as Anthony pointed out.

If I get the time, I will have a look at your CHM theory.

So, I am happy at this point and thank everyone for thier valued input.

TDM
