Thanks, it works fine now!

Another question: can I set the output file's encoding from TeX? Say I
want the \write\myout file's encoding is 'gbk', is it possible?

The reason is that, because I want to include the output into TeX at the
end of the same document, and I'm using some macros that needs the
file's encoding is 'gbk'.
