Well, that certainly means _something_. It doesn't tell us that this is a good idea, but it certainly makes it easy to implement :-). Suggestion: "foo.txt" <binary-file-reader> utf8 set-codec I feel really stupid ... I tried to look up <file-reader> to verify how to properly apply it (specifically, I wanted to look up the right conventions for naming things like set-codec; I'm a newbie), and I simply can't find it in the Vocabulary. What's under? I *expected* it to be under File or Files... No such thing. > Slava -Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
