Cool, jacque! I am impressed.
Just for my edification, how did you know that the original text was in
UTF16?
I'm afraid it won't help with your scripting. I just opened the file in
BBEdit, it tells you what the encoding is.
I just looked it up on Wikipedia and saw that I could have done it in
LiveCode. The first 2 characters of the files had a BOM (byte order
mark). If you get the chartonum of those, you'll get 255 254 for little
endian and 254 255 for big-endian. The occurance of either set means it
is UTF-16. By convention, a UTF-8 file doesn't use a BOM.
