Hello, In "Making your programs Unicode aware" (Bruno Haible, 23 January 2001), in the Lisp section about LW: LispWorks supports Unicode... Limitations: Encodings cannot be used for socket I/O... See ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/utf8/Unicode-HOWTO-6.html Does someone know if LW socket I/O will support more element-types in the near future? Francis

Thank you John for the hint. Actually I have used translate-string-via-fli to work with UTF-8 using CLSQL and PostgreSQL. BTW I also have tested cxml:rod-to-utf8-string and cxml:utf8-string-to-rod which works too but is a bit slower (I didn't try to optimize these 2 functions). But for another part of my application this kind of solution is not practicable. I need LW socket I/O to be extended, hence my question.
