Hi Vino,
Thanks for your quick response.
I was just looking for a normal single byte english encoding and I found "engle" in /usr/lib/nls/iconv/config.iconv as the only one with the word "English" in the description so I tried that.
Could you tell me the correct encoding for normal single byte english?
BTW on my HP-UX 11.11 the "-l" option for iconv does not work.
Cheers
Steve

WCTOB(3) Linux Programmer's Manual WCTOB(3)
NAME
wctob - try to represent a wide character as a single byte
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
int wctob(wint_t c);
DESCRIPTION
The wctob() function tests whether the multibyte representation of the wide character c, starting in the initial state, consists of a sin-
gle byte. If so, it is returned as an unsigned char.
Never use this function. It cannot help you in writing internationalized programs. Internationalized programs must never distinguish sin-
gle-byte and multibyte characters.
RETURN VALUE
The wctob() function returns the single-byte representation of c, if it exists, of EOF otherwise.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of wctob() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
This function should never be used. Internationalized programs must never distinguish single-byte and multibyte characters. Use the func-
tion wctomb(3) instead.
SEE ALSO
btowc(3), wctomb(3)
