(and XML uses "encoding", rather than "charset"): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and "the default character encoding was changed to UTF-8 in HTML5." So if there is going to be a default, it should probably be UTF-8 We need to either specify the "string" dimension, or have a consistent convention: A 10x8 CHAR array could be either 10 8 character strings or 8 ten character strings. And it gets more confusing with higher dimensions. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
