Notepad may be horribly crippled, but I'm not entirely sure "broken" is the right word for it. Does it do anything *wrong*? I don't think so. UTF-8 pseudo-BOM (more of a signature, less of a Byte Order Mark) is officially unofficially supported by the Unicode consortium, if you know what I mean. They specifically point out it is not a BOM, and that you can use it if you wish, but they'd rather you didn't. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
