From a DOS batch script (under WinXP) I redirect some Echo output to a new textfile e.g.

Echo blah blah >myfile.txt
Echo .... >>myfile.txt

The resulting file is saved as Unicode style instead of ANSI.

How can I achieve a file creation in ANSI style and NOT in Unicode style?

Can you explain your definition of ANSI or more precisely what is wrong
with the text file you are creating. I've been creating text files
for years with no problems, so I'm not sure exactly what your issue is.

Answered in detail in your subsequent post. It's a good idea
to close an existing thread when you find an answer, to avoid
duplication of effort.
