I have been trying to read .reg files which contain exports of parts of 
a windows registry in emacs, and all I get is junk.  I've been told
that this is because the registry is output in unicode.  Notepad can
read these and so can vim on linux.  Is there any way I can view these
types of files in emacs? Thanks.
