STRTOFILE() generates pure TXT and uses that charset what is set in Control Panel->Region and Language->Administrative->Current Language for non-Unicode programs.
In most cases it is Windows-1252 (in my case it is Windows-1251).
That is true if you didn't use STRCONV() or API function to convert the chars.
