Thanks for pointing this out, Marvin. I wish Sun (or someone) would document and register this particular character set encoding with IANA, so that it could be used outside of Java. As it stands now, it's essentially a bastard encoding, good for nothing, and one of the warts of Java.
Lucene probably shouldn't be using it in its file formats. Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
