Looks good to me, but, I didn't much chance to test it. A basic check would be if guile --locale -c "(write 'キ)" | wc outputs 3 characters or 1. One big check would be if we can run a script with a non-ASCII file name -- which would be in the system's locale encoding. That script could contain code, and a "coding:" declaration, in a different non-ASCII encoding, just to make it fun. -Mike
