I agree with Eric that a lab does not help much. If your program requires unicode then using unicode is as natural as using ascii. In J601 I guess you actually must use unicode for accent characters of european languages. eg. a.i.'téléphone' 116 195 169 108 195 169 112 104 111 110 101 it is already in utf8 -- regards, bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
