Me too, in some sense, but my runtime objects use XMLCh as their native string form by design. I understand that's often completely impossible, but in those cases, it's painful. FWIW, I think libxml2 uses 8-bit characters (UTF-8 I'd imagine) as its basic interface. Maybe that would suit you better? -- Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
