Thanks for the info. I tend to stay away from Java, even though I am a caffeine addict. ....I've checked it out and I can only say they were out of their minds when they first let cp932 handle vanilla Shift_JIS. Fortunately for Encode (and Jcode), Shift_JIS has always been generic. I also recalled where Java was located in Larry's diagram in State of Onion and chuckled. Dan the (En|J)code Maintainer
