Resolution: None

Summary: file-length non conforming.

Initial Comment:
FILE-LENGTH should return the number of CHARACTER in a text file.  It returns instead the number of bytes.

Either:
1- do the right thing, read the whole file when the encoding isnot a 1-1 encoding, and count the characters, or
2- document that FILE-LENGTH on CHARACTER text files with non 1-1 encodings deviates from the standard.
