Thanks. I am trying to learn the ways of Pharo 6 and not use
StandardFileStream and MultiByteFileStream. So I do not know all of the
best ways to do things. Thanks for the education. Your "best" way worked
perfectly in Pharo 6.
Again, thanks.

I still do not know how to do this correctly. But I have something that
seems to work for the moment.
Using #asUTF8Bytes
f nextPutAll: (writer write contents asUTF8Bytes).
Now the file is in UTF-8 and normal size.
openForWriteFileNamed: opens a binary stream (... which incidentally, also
lets you put strings/widestrings as if they were bytes/doublewords), to
write string source as utf8, the best way is to wrap it in a stream which
converts strings -> utf8 bytes, an example:
binaryStream := (ByteArray new: 100) writeStream.
encodedStream := ZnCharacterWriteStream on: binaryStream encoding: #utf8.
encodedStream nextPutAll: '€'.
binaryStream contents
The "best"* way is to use an API which provides an encoded stream with
scoped use (so you don't have to close it manually); for instance:
'/home/jimmie/xmldoc.xml' asFileReference writeStreamDo: [ :ws | ws
nextPutAll: writer write contents ]
should default to a file stream outputting utf8.
Cheers,
Henry
*May or may not work in Pharo 7 though, seeing as how the old default
encoded stream has been deprecated, I haven't checked.
