I can certainly believe this is down to Windows thinking the locale doesn't support 8-bit characters. (Simple tweaking of LANG didn't seem to improve matters.) Would it be worth changing the error message for that error (the second one in the iconv branch) to suggest the error was with the particular character, rather than with character sets in general? -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
