I think I have a slightly different problem than what these modules address -- moreover, these modules require a local iconv implementation, which Win2k does not (to my knowledge).

Even if I have an implementation, I need to have the conversion table installed, which is what I was grabbing and parsing from <a href="http://www.unicode.org>unicode.org -- given that I had already parsed the file I might just as well build the tr/// strings at the same time.

Finally, I couldn't find any documentation indicating which conversion tables (on a Solaris installation) corresponded to what -- nothing that looked like a Mac table or a Windows code page 1252 table, which I think is standard 8859-1 but I'm not positive. The conversion tables are in some binary format, too, so I can't just inspect them.

Do you have more info you could share?
