I tried but could not find a way. I'm using a 4GL language, with build in
support for UTF-16 but no way to control the BOM:

OUTPUT TO VALUE(cPathFile) CONVERT TARGET "UTF-16".
FOR EACH ttfile:
        PUT UNFORMATTED ttfile.path + "~n".
END. /* ttfile */
OUTPUT CLOSE.

The first statement causes the output to be in UTF-16 instead of plain
ASCII, but there's no way to say it should not write the BOM.
Implementing the workaround is easy:
  COPY-LOB FROM FILE cPathFile TO mFile.
  COPY-LOB FROM mFile STARTING AT 3 TO FILE cPathFile.
  SET-SIZE(mFile) = 0.

Because of the small size of these files the overhead will be negligeable
and I can live with this sollution but I just think that it would be
better if tortoiseproc would detect this BOM character because it is
allowed to be there according to the unicode specs and so others may
encounter the same issue (or the docs on automating tortoiseproc could
mention there should be no BOM if this would require a complex code
change.)
