I can't take you seriously, sorry. UTF-8 is the future, there's no way around it. You need multiples of 8 bit to store non-ASCII-codepoints, but UTF-8 is doing a great job. Keep in mind: For most text streams, you are dealing with ASCII-characters. This is one argument against UTF-16, which has a bottleneck in this regard. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
