Performance was pretty good, though better with -O2 than anything higher.

It's working correctly now, although I'm not sure what I did to change it.

Also if you don't mind a GUI tool,  Goran's TextConvert is pretty handy
for codepage conversion.  See:

Maybe I'm simple-minded.  I always figure documentation is where you find
it.  This link:

  http://korea.gnu.org/gcc/src/glibc-2.2.5/iconv/

implies to me that library support for iconv exists within gcc.

Also, now that you mention it, a check of my emx/gcc install reports:

 iconv.h          1,381 .a.. 11-16-01 10:05:54

and

 iconv.h          2,336 .a.. 10-23-01 20:07:24

You might want to check your installation.

Steven

Maybe, but there is nothing in the emx include files or docs to
suggest this.

No idea, as I installed it under Virtual PC. It's way of representing
partitions seems particularly confusing from what I could see, so 
recognizing which partitions to use could be a bit of a problem.
I suppose, as long as you stay away from certain Non-OS'es from Redmont,
bootmanagers shouldn't be a big problem...

IIRC, it's a new feature in Andy's gcc-3.x ports. For plain EMX,
there should be a separate package containing that stuff (was it
gettext?).

Ahh, I was using the gcc 2.8.1 built by John's build system - and it
aint got iconv in it.

Is that PowerQuest's BootMagic, or am I thinking of something else?
