Hi there Yes, I'm a dev, I use hexeditor and binutils' "strings" regularly. However, every text editor I have ever used has let me open a file containing unrecognised chars, it just shows [] etc. So I stick to my request! Windows or Mac don't have this limitation too BTW. KDE doesn't either, i switched to KWrite. Thanks, Jon
