I checked on another machine. What I got is: toro:~> iconv --version iconv (GNU libc) 2.2.4 Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Written by Ulrich Drepper. toro:~> iconv -f MACINTOSH -t UTF-8 <test.htm >test.utf8 iconv: illegal input sequence at position 460 The output file ends exactly where iconv 2.1 left a null byte. So something has changed, but not enough. I guess somebody should contact Ulrich or so directly. Regards, Martin.
