FSVO "autodetect". Windoze expects to see an extraneous zero-width non-breaking space as the first character of a file using UTF-8; that of course, will break any software that is not expecting it. The ida of jamming in an extraneous character as a byte-order mark when the issue of byte order has no relevance is something that only the developers of edge (ptui!) could love. If you have a valid source file for a language whose compiler does not allow an extraneous initial character, than windoze will not autodetect it as UTF-8.

It's prevalent and I've known Windows programs to auto-detect it. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
