Heya Lisa [and the original poster]
man - there has got to be a native implementation for codepage 1252 and 1250 .
it mondo sucks that it hasn't been addressed short of a major workaround.
and I DO MEAN MAJOR.
I'm pointing sideways, of course, but in the meantime, there are more apps not made public utilizing codepagee 1252, so MS won't take the plunge and address it . come visit ?
