[Cuis] Status of Unicode support?

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Ken,

I tried your Unicode package today, and found a few required changes due 
to recent changes in FileDirectory (elimination of #current). Please 
consider integrating the attach (or equivalent) in your packages.

With these patches loaded, I could save the image without problems in 
Windows 7. HTH.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
