The best way to save a string to a text file is to use -[NSString writeToURL:atomically:encoding:error:], or the corresponding method taking a path. This is even more important on Leopard, because on Leopard NSString will tag the file with an extended attribute specifying the encoding, so that it can be opened properly by TextEdit and anything else using Cocoa APIs to load text files.

Unfortunately that method doesn't allow for controlling whether the save can be lossy or not. Is there a way to manually set the text encoding file attribute after using the NSData method? I don't see a constant for the atribute in NSFileManager.
