Basically, I'm inclined to agree with what you say. A minor point is that the other ISO-8859 encodings (or really, any single-byte encoding) works equally well, as long as you don't want to mix them. So I guess you really want to say "Anything that isn't a single-byte encoding..." (Except for string constants, I guess, but perhaps you could just use its byte representation in the source? The length could be slightly surprising, though.) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
