I just got somewhat of a surprise, and wanted to hear whether anyone on the list has encountered the same issue.

It seems that a MapBasic app, even when compiled with MB 4.1, is now capable of writing a Unicode formatted file.

The trigger seems to be outputting an XML header tag line (<?xml ... ?>).

I'm not sure whether it's MIPro (using 7.8) or Windows 2000 that intervenes, since I'm positive this behaviour hasn't always been present.

Unfortunately it gets the extended ascii characters wrong, and specifying charsets throws an error, so I'm kinda stuck for now :-(
