prt2win 2: print UTF or ASCII to any Windows-driven printer

It is up for general testing:

New features: Unicode capability, and raw mode. Many thanks to coderJeff and Zippy, without them it would not have happened.

Rigorous Unicode testing is badly needed; if anyone has a test file to offer, suitable to demonstrate just how much Unicode capability is now working, I would appreciate it very much if you would email it to me or paste it into this thread! I am rather curious as to how much Unicode is really working, because I had to send it to OPEN LPT via PRINT#, not PUT#, and so there are at least two possible places where Unicode might be filtered: the PRINT# step, and the text imaging step.

Hello, everyone! Have just updated the source for 0.90.1, recompiled, and tested under Windows 8; working well now, as version 1.35. Love that smooth FB flow! The URL is still here:
