Yuck. Why don't you just use iconv instead?
Cuz, I thought it was only a library? :-?
Cuz I already know windows starts in UCS-2 and know the codepage for UTF-8 (65001). With iconv, I don't know off the top of my head where to look for what document that specifies the strings to use for input and output. Output is likely utf-8 or utf8, but it might require uppercase. I don't think UCS-2 is a unicode input charset, so I'd have to semi-lie to iconv and tell it utf16, but that's no worse than the windows method, where the "lie" is implicit. But thanks for the new pointer... something else to learn & use... linda -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
