What I would suggest is that you have it open utf-8 by default. If the file is unreadable then the user would have an option to 'convert to utf-8' and a choice between cp1256/iso8859-6 leaving cp1256 as the default. But maybe someone knows of a way to guess the encoding ;) later -- ------------------------------------------------------- | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | | Unix the 'right' way | http://fakkir.net/~elzubeir/| -------------------------------------------------------
