Hi again

I examined the data at byte level and here is what I found :

1> binary_to_list(term_to_binary("test")).
[131,107,0,4,116,101,115,116]

2> binary_to_list(term_to_binary(test)).
[131,100,0,4,116,101,115,116]

3> binary_to_list(term_to_binary({test, "test"})).
[131,104,2,100,0,4,116,101,115,116,107,0,4,116,101,115,116]

whereas :

OtpErlangString S = new OtpErlangString("test");
OtpOutputStream B = new OtpOutputStream(S);
B.toByteArray();
[107, 0, 4, 116, 101, 115, 116]

OtpErlangAtom S = new OtpErlangAtom("test");
OtpOutputStream B = new OtpOutputStream(S);
B.toByteArray();
[100, 0, 4, 116, 101, 115, 116]

OtpErlangObject O[] = {new OtpErlangAtom("test"), new 
OtpErlangString("test")};
OtpErlangTuple T = new OtpErlangTuple(O);
OtpOutputStream B = new OtpOutputStream(T);
B.toByteArray();
[104, 2, 100, 0, 4, 116, 101, 115, 116, 107, 0, 4, 116, 101, 115, 116]

It seems the only difference is the leading 131 byte in erlang. Can anyone 
confirm that it is always present ? If it is the case, I guess I have my 
solution.

Thanks again,
