On the Macintosh, when Apple's Mac Runtime for Java is installed it installs a system extension, "Text Encoding Converter." A tool has been written to easily access the functions of this extension from scripting environments to convert text from one encoding to another (http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~iimori/sw/TECOSAX.html). For example, within Frontier a script can convert text easily by calling the method TEC.convertText (originalText, oldEncoding, newEncoding). Windows NT, in particular, deals well with multiple text encodings. Is there a similar extension/dll/API in the Windows world that can help scripters/programmers with this task? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Deke Smith Tallent Communications Group, Brentwood TN deke@tallent.com, 615-661-9878 ----------------------------------------------------------------- " The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
