I completely agree - don't encode it unless you're sure you really need that, such as if your webserver were a VAX and didn't understand 8 bit character encodings. You're going to balloon the resident memory size of the app, possibly dramatically if you're talking arbitrary images. --Jim _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
