files with ccsid of 65535 are created using the crtpf, instead of dds.  so the
file could contain anything.  why the default is to convert it to something
unusable is beyond me..

v3r1m3 had a property to convert this data, which makes it easier.  but what you
can do is either build a dummy dds for the file, and copy your data into it, or
key a file into the windows folder to force the conversion.  i don't have it
handy, but search dejanews, i bet it's on there a dozen or more times..  (search
for 65535 and force)
