free unicode editors for win98 FE

I'm trying to create a file in unicode format under win98 First Edition.

I have a file at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/r.a.mcc...t_entities.xml

This was saved as a unicode text file using Notepad, but the W3C validator
(http://validator.w3.org/) & the web valet validator
(http://valet.webthing.com/page/) indicate its screwed up somehow.

Can anyone explain this?

Is there a free unicode editor for win 98 FE available from a completely
reliable source (no malware etc)?

In news Bob had this to say:

I can't explain it. I've no idea but there's this utility for you as you
wanted a free safe unicode editor.

Search for a javabased FREE unicode editor "SIMREDO"

search on the net and download its latest version from their
site.

In case of any problem you can contact its developer
Mr Klivo Lendon indriko at yahoo dot com

works on 98SE as well xp etc.

Take a look with a hex editor.
This file is _NOT_ UTF-8 but UTF-16LE.
And notepad tends to insert a BOM.

Is there a free unicode editor for win 98 FE available from a completely
reliable source (no malware etc)?

AFIAK Yudit is available for Mac, Windows and unix;

This was saved as a unicode text file using Notepad,

It claims to be UTF-8 encoded but isn't. The accented characters are in
ISO 8859-1 encoding, and using NUL octets won't save the day. Besides,
the server sends it with Content-Type: text/xml without indicating the
encoding, hence implying US-ASCII, and then there are troubles ahead.

So you need a different approach.

There's no such thing as completely reliable source. (Would you rate
Microsoft as completely reliable for example?)

But see
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities.html#win
which has a nice collection of pointers to useful Unicode editors.
For editing Web pages, NVU ( http://www.nvu.com ) might be a good idea;
it has been developed from Netscape/Mozilla Composer, and it's gaining
popularity.

Consider upgrading to 98SE for WMP 9, better driver management, USB 2.0
through 3rd parties, more critical updates, best 9x operating system, imho,
etc.

VS Rawat, I am on Arizona time --- 7:00 ----- by the way, have you used
Unix/Linux and/or Apple software/hardware and do you like them better than
Microsoft operating systems? I am considering jumping ship after the 9x line
is ended on 30 June 2006 to Linux/Unix and Apple because of the underlying
weaknesses in the NT (New Technology --- aka Not There called by Microsoft
Engineers and I think even Bill Gates in the past --- first is true because I
read it in a book) In addition, any ideas on how to get a hold of the active
firewall that will shut down computer networks when users hack your
machine -- I know the U.S. Military uses it to protect their networks and I
need an offensive system as well as a defensive system -- price can be high
if need be --- up to $300 but must be real --- TIA and have a nice day ---
BTW, you can probably tell that I worked for the U.S. government -- LOL

Better add another 0 on the end of that, and go with a Cisco server if you want
that type of security.

This is off my topic, but my Dad, who was using Win 98 SE has just bought a
Mac. Two of my brothers & a nephew already use Macs. I've never met anyone
who's used both Windows and a Mac who didn't prefer the Mac

Linux is popular with people 30 years old & younger who work in Computing or
did Computer Science degrees. I suspect for non-techies it may be very time
consuming to keep a Linux system up to date & figure out how things work.
