Sorry for the delay.  Yes, you need to be using the extfmt-branch to get 
support for external formats.   The utf16 branch only basically just 
changes the internal representation and has minimal support for external 
format.  The extftm-branch has much more complete support.  (But still 
lacks lots of other support for unicode.)
