Isn't that obvious? In a time where there was text or binary and your biggest problem was line ending conversion it is normal to do not any processing on a binary stream. It is its definition. The world has changed since then and since we have encodings there is no such thing as a text/ascii stream anymore. I think we have to slowly convert those things to modern stuff. How hard that is? Look at Grease it is a piece of modern software but still encodes string -> string. There are always caveats not to ignore. Norbert
