That's quite possible since with the unicode support you would be forced to do binary writes to handle it and therefore would have to duplicate whatever the text mode stuff of the underlying OS was doing when in text mode. So you're probably right in actuality, but the spirit of the issue is still the same - a \n is still a ^J and not some special character marker replaced with a 'newline' if you follow my drift. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
