Thanks, Harry - that does it.
I noted Charles Yeomans' suggestion re WritePString but it appeared
that this would require me to find the right encoding, for which the
info at first glance appeared to be a maze of cross-referencing. In
fact I was about to start doing it by
b.WriteByte(chr(each char of the string))
but I will now stick to your suggestion.
If you're writing the data to the file, then you are in control of text
encoding. You simply ensure that all strings have a known encoding,
like UTF-8.
