BULK LOAD - worked, but with this error msg - meaning?

Hi,
My bulk load worked, however, I had some messages returned. Just
wondering what they mean' Thanks
This is my Bulk Insert stmt:
BULK INSERT dbo.[Table_Load] FROM 'c:\admin\myFile.txt' WITH
(FIELDTERMINATOR='\t',ROWTERMINATOR='\n',CODEPAGE = 'OEM',FIRSTROW=2)
These are the messages returned:
Bulk load: DataFileType was incorrectly specified as char. DataFileType
will be assumed to be widechar because the data file has a Unicode
signature.
Bulk load: DataFileType was incorrectly specified as char. DataFileType
will be assumed to be widechar because the data file has a Unicode
signature.
(459 row(s) affected)Hi
If you don't specify a DATAFILETYPE then 'char' is assumed and it looks like
you have a unicode file, therefore you should specify 'widechar'. Lookup BULK
INSERT in Books Online for more information.
