That is an official, gold plated win!

Thanks for your persistence William. Everything is utf-8 now. I found a 
Windows registry hack to convert the codepage to utf-8 or actually 
cp65001 as Microsoft prefer to call it. No more cp850 or cp1252. Then I 
adjusted your ...

with open(csvfile, "r", encoding='utf-16') as csv:

... to utf-8 and we have readable output. I'm cooking again.

Apart from beer next time we meet and a glowing credit in the project 
contribution list you have my sincere gratitude.

Fantastic

Mike
