Since there is no RFC or ISO standard for CSV, I'd say the answer was "yes". I just tried it with Excel, which is probably as close as we can get to the canonical csv application. It can read a UCS-16 csv file, but it mishandles it. It doesn't split at the commas. It treats each line as a single cell. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
