Hi,
Very busy right now - and not near the machine I can test this on. But
on my Solaris laptop (running an older e16 release) I see:
:
UCS-2BE (UCS-2BE, UCS_2BE, UCS2BE), UCS-2LE (UCS-2LE, UCS_2LE,
UCS2LE),
UCS-4 (UCS-4, UCS_4, UCS4), UCS-4BE (UCS-4BE, UCS_4BE, UCS4BE),
UCS-4LE (UCS-4LE, UCS_4LE, UCS4LE), UTF-16 (UTF-16, UTF16, UTF_16),
:
in response to "iconv -l". So it *should* work?
Ta,
Mark.
