The code looks different from this description. It appears that it
will use UTF8 in the following conditions:
a) if there is already a UTF8 BOM, or
b) if there are non-ascii chars AND the UseUTF8 key is non-zero.

The UseUTF8 key defaults to 0, so by default there is no conversion.

Is that correct?
