That's kind-of why I wanted to use TFileStream. I use it for reading binary data, and thought to use it for writing text data. I always used to use Text type though. > Graeme's problem seems to be that he is writting UTF-8 text files > without UTF-8 BOM.

The problem was a rogue WriteAnsiString() line in another unit which wrote the string length before the text. And because that was the first line in the output file, it seems to have confused most text editors. Changing all the lines to use the correct .Write() call and parameter syntax, everything is working fine now. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
