Windows has a function GetACP() which returns the current ANSI codepage. iconv wants a string which determines the source and target codesets. I don't know any function in Windows which converts a codepage number into an iconv-compatible codeset name. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Project Co-Leader Red Hat
