Can you elaborate?  I can't see how this would work unless the
"Unicode" file contained only a subset of Unicode which corresponds to
the 7-bit ASCII character set... in which case the Unicode version of
the file will be identical to the ASCII version of the file, possibly
save for a 3-byte encoding marker (which is optional and largely
unnecessary) at the beginning of the file.
