Excellent. If that works, Guile needs the same thing. (I'm afraid, though, the approach is not without its problems as the concatenation of two raw bytes might yield a valid UTF-8 encoding of a single character. I don't know if full bijectivity can be achieved.) >> That can be managed through support libraries. > > Guile is one huge support library, so it should include that built-in. As long as Guile can manage anything Linux throws at it, I'm fine with it. As it stands, a couple of chinks in the armor have been identified. Marko
