Importing unicode UTF8 text files - followup

[J. Landman Gay]

Just to follow up: When importing foreign language files, "file" isn't 
working. Non-ascii characters show up as question marks and textDecode 
does nothing.

Using "binfile" and then textDecoding does import correctly but then 
text chunking by lines fails. Line endings are imported as 2 bytes using 
byteToNum 13,10 (in that order) which isn't the line ending standard for 
any OS. I have to replace those specifically.

These are text files saved as UTF-8, created on Mac OS X and imported on 
Mac OS X. I'm using LC 7.0.6.
