EMERGENCY! Unicode question on export file

[brian at revolution911.com]

Sorry, forgot to send what I'm currently trying.

Do iFileOps.$createfile(%%filelocation)
Do iFileOps.$openfile(%%filelocation) Returns %%status
Do iFileOps.$writefile(chartoutf8(lList2))
Do iFileOps.$closefile

Hi Brian,

If you need to export in either Mac Roman or Windows Extended ANSI character
sets as you would have done in Studio 4.3, you need to use the function
uniconf() in Catalog->Functions->Unicode.

This function allows you to convert Omnis unicode text to various character
encodings including the type kUniTypeNativeCharacters, which may be what you
are after. All the type constants are listed in Catalog->Constants->Unicode.

Regards,
Michael
