Old code was certainly in MacRoman, and quite a few used middle dot, accented chars and other characters in the right half of the character chart. Monticello surely should use UTF-8. I'd think, though, it should keep BOM; did you encounter any problems? (it is not recommended, but it is permitted.) -- -- Yoshiki
