Is encoding ISO-8859-1 a problem for NetRexx users?

[George Hovey-2]

I'm a Windows user, and I see from David's test that a number of systems I've never heard of are running NetRexx.
My practice is to encode textual files in ISO-8859-1 and, particularly, to make use of characters in the range 0x80-0xFF.
Would any of these systems have difficulty making use text files so encoded?

Hi George, may I please repeat:

One of the funny things with NetRexx is:

** when it is runnung on *any PLATFORM*, it is running *on every PLATFORM*

There is no re-compilation necessary at all, by DESIGN of the JVM machine.

And, .. whilst people did say, some years ago, that Java is slower than C, for instance, nowadays, with imroving machince perrformance, and also the
builtin JIT compilers, the *big advantage of Java is*:

When your code does run on *any Java Machine*, it does and will actually
run on *Any Java Machine*

That's why I do think that the NetRexx approach is and may be will be
so helpful ...

Tom.

George,

   Java, and thus NetRexx, is using UNICODE, and thus all those minor
character encodings simply disappear when using NetRexx (and thus Java).

I did activily scan a lot of languages using a small NetRexx program
of mine (from Hindi to Albanian, Russian, etc) without any problems in NetRexx.

A big step forward, I do think ...
Tom.
