That's right. From the docs: ------ When you save a stack, its text is encoded using either the ISO character set (on Unix or Windows systems) or the Macintosh character set (on Mac OS or OS X systems). If you open the stack on a system that uses the other character set, Revolution converts all the text in the stack to use the current character set, and the process takes noticeable time if the stack contains a great deal of text in fields or scripts. ----- So the text is converted automatically when you open the stack on the other set of platforms (Mac OS/OS X versus Unix/Windows), and you just have to save it to get the benefit. -- Jeanne A.
