And same question on conversion between other character sets...


I have written code for conversion between about 100 character sets
(in C) but actually none of the mentioned conversions were included.
They are planned though.  The reason why these conversions are
not included in the abut 10000 possible converisons I have, is because
these are the most difficult. And I find the conversions to and from
Unicode the most difficult of them all, so that will be the last to
be implemented, but it will come....

The code is available in dkuug.dk:pub/ch.shar0[12] by ftp, FTAM or email.
