I was pondering whether any users had a locale of *.UTF-16. Then even the ASCII characters will be subject to the byte/character difference, so I thought it was best to leave even that vague. But perhaps saying something like "especially with non-ASCII characters" wouldn't be too misleading? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
