I just checked in an early first cut of a Win32 transcoder, basd very
loosely on Eric Ulivek's donated code. I've simplified it quite a bit, and
I haven't added the support for the IE based code pages. We want to explore
the ramifications of this a little more before commiting to that. The
current cut will use any valid installed windows code pages. Unless I'm
missing something, this is *not* the list in the charsets page. That page
shows you all of the possibilities, but not all of them are valid installed
code pages. This is not how Eric's works, as best I can tell, which seems
to assume that they are all available for use. But, from some emperical
experiment's some of them listed which are not IE based ones either, are
not available unless they explicitly loaded onto the host system.
Anyway, check it out and comment if you have any thoughts. And comment on
the pros/cons of using the IE based ones, and what that might mean for
instance for a WinCE user of this parser and other related issues.
