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?
