Hello Andrew, Thursday, November 29, 2007, 1:11:38 AM, you wrote:
IMHO, someone should make a full proposal by implementing an alternative System.IO library that deals with all these encoding issues and implements H98 IO in terms of that.
We need two seperate interfaces. One for text-mode I/O, one for raw binary I/O.
When doing text-mode I/O, the programmer needs to be able to explicitly specify exactly which character encoding is required. (Presumably default to the current 8-bit truncation encoding?)
