Docs: SpeedGen: UNICODE Support

Excel 97 and above

• SpeedGen implements Full UNICODE Support when writing Excel 97 or greater workbooks.
• Compresses Western Language UNICODE strings to half their size.
• Maintains a Unique String Table so the same string is never physically written more than once. This produces a much smaller file when you have duplicate strings.

Excel 5.0 and 95

• The Excel 5.0 / 95 format does not support UNICODE

  When saving to Excel 5.0/95 everything will be translated to the local system settings. Even so, Asian and other languages will still work. They just won't be UNICODE. There is no way around this since the Excel 5.0 / 95 format does not support UNICODE.
