Readline - UTF-8 or Unicode or both?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Readline - UTF-8 or Unicode or both?

Hi,

Not as yet - it just reads a byte-per-char so it's pretty much 'ascii' (or 'Latin1' by 'Max convention').

I have started work on a TextStream type though, and the next release of the compiler will be able to parse Latin1/UTF8/UTF16 source files. In addition, the Mac IDE will be able to save in Latin1/UTF8/UTF16 format. This was very easy to do on the Mac - I'm not sure when the Win32 IDE will catch up.
