In 2.2 I'm using

   set the unicodetext of field "Unicode Text" of card "iPhoto" of stack 
"Preferences" to uniencode(URL unicodeFile, "UTF8")

to read a UTF8 file into RunRev.  Is RunRev not doing byte swapping 
automatically in this case?  (It's reading an iPhoto xml file that's 
UTF-8 encoded, so I've never actually tested whether it reads a Windows 
byte-swapped file).

Also, is there really no read/write of UTF-8 files in RunRev?  That 
would seem to be an oversight, no?
