    Hi:
    
    Here's the full text of the error message -
    ******************************
    URI: http://www.thelobsterdock.com/
    Last modified: Fri Feb 9 21:58:20 2001
    Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
    Content length: 6338
    A fatal error occured when attempting to transliterate the document charset.
    Either we do not support this charset yet, or you have specified a
    non-existant character set (typically a misspelling such as "iso8859-1" for
    "iso-8859-1").
    
    The detected charset was "windows-1252".
    
    The error was "[Sat Mar 3 17:47:17 2001] check: Unsupported conversion:
    Invalid argument at /usr/local/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 391. ".
    ***********************************
    More information:
    This is happening with a document charset produced by Microsoft FrontPage
    2000 and appears to have just started yesterday (March 2, 2001).
    
    Any ideas?
