Note that this doesn't mean that they are displayed in UTF-8, only that the names are stored in UTF-8 on disk. Once you've got a known encoding you can easily convert to the user's local encoding. -- Joe Drew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My weblog doesn't detail my personal life: http://me.woot.net
