No problem. WideCharToMultiByte has an argument where you tell what you want to convert to, and I specifically say that I want UTF-8. The alternative would be to first try with CP_ACP, that is the ANSI code page. Which on my machine would be CP1252 and not Latin-1, which you point out as a possible problem. Thanks for the response! It appears that I have no reason to change. (And I have also found out how to handle hash keys. Using hv_store and send in a raw char* was not that bright of an idea. hv_store_ent with an SV* key was a lot better.) -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
