First thing would be to simplify #setConverterForCode and #selectTextConverterForCode. Do we still want to use a MacRomanTextConverter, seriously? I'm not even sure I've got that many files with that encoding on my Mac-OSX... Do we really need to put a ByteOrderMark for UTF-8, seriously? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark, it's valueless, and not recommended. It were a Squeak way to specify that a Squeak source file would use UTF-8 rather than MacRoman, but now this should be obsolescent.
Old code was certainly in MacRoman, and quite a few used middle dot, accented chars and other characters in the right half of the character chart. Monticello surely should use UTF-8. I'd think, though, it should keep BOM; did you encounter any problems? (it is not recommended, but it is permitted.) -- -- Yoshiki
