No differences: 1. Read the input 2. Recode it into the format most useful for the application 3. Do whatever processing in that format 4. When output is needed, recode back The best choice, at least for compiler writing and GUI text editors is IMO UTF-8. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
