Yes. I tried a couple of days ago with a certain document. 'iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8' didn't help either. iconv complained that this was not the correct encoding. I ended up removing many non-relevant characters such as: ^@, ^A, ^B (this is how they appeared in vim) and got parts of readable text. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
