I looked into this and find that the issue seems to be Apple's rather limited (not to say brain dead) locale support. What I see on OSX 10.3.7 is that <langinfo.h> defines CODESET, but nl_langinfo(CODESET) always returns an empty string. So there's not any obvious way to determine the correct encoding associated with a locale setting. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
