LC9 and Windows Unicode bug?

[Brian Milby]

I'm seeing the same results Mac Sierra / Win 10.  But, you can open the
file as binary.

...
open file theFile for binary read
...

Function Readln FILE_NAME
   Read from file FILE_NAME until Return
   Delete last char of it
   Return textDecode(it,"UTF-8")
End Readln

Function Readbk FILE_NAME
   Read from file FILE_NAME until numToChar(1)
   Delete last char of it
   Return textDecode(it,"UTF-8")
End Readbk

When I change to reading the file as binary, then I get the same (as far as
I can tell) results left/right fields.
