Hi
How can I specify the character encoding when opening a readStream on a FileRerefence.

I found this, that works:

| readStream fileContent |
readStream := (File named: aFileName) openForRead.
fileContent := ZnCharacterReadStream on: readStream encoding: encoding.
��fileContent upToEnd asString.

But if I try to do the same with a readStream from a FileReference

| readStream fileContent |
readStream := aFileName asFileReference readStream.
fileContent := ZnCharacterReadStream on: readStream encoding: encoding.
��fileContent upToEnd asString.

I get an error SmallInteger DNU #asciiValue,

this is because, in the first method, we create a binary filestream, and if we
use readStream from a FileReference, the stream is a MultibyteFileStream.

How can I us ZnEncoder for a readstream from a FileReference?

(and is it on purpose that both readStream method (openForRead/readStream)
return different kinds of binary streams?)
