ASCII-Unicode conversion

[vefatica]

Steve, please give this (attached) a try.

v:\> auconvert /?
Convert ASCII <-> Unicode
FCONVERT<infile><outfile> infile outfile (outfile will be clobbered)

AUCONVERT is bare-bones. If it thinks <infile> is Unicode (BOM is the only test) it converts to ASCII; else it converts to Unicode.

Please let me know how it works.

</infile></outfile></infile>I have a working (test) version of it in 4UTILS (in-house); don't know if I'll leave it there.

Will do, but not until late afternoon today (Sunday) the earliest.

BTW, the link puts me into a Firefox tab to log in into the Forum. On
completing the login it starts the download automatically.

I downloaded the zip file extracted the two utilities. I'll find them useful.
Thank you.

Thanks all for the responses. The problem is not present in the latest
builds of V11, so I am able to revert to plain TYPE...
