There's no obvious reason it shouldn't work, and you could use recode for the filter. However, wouldn't it be much better to just generate utf-8 in the first place? I find it hard to believe that it's really as hard as all that. -- Svein Ove Aas _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
