Is it possible to add an encoding to CoCoa?
I have some text data from a legacy system which is ASCII for 0-127,
but
128-255 is unique to the system. I'd like to load it into a text view
and "just have it work".
Hi Tim,
It's worth checking whether the character set is *really* unique to
that system. Even if Cocoa and Core Foundation don't support a given
encoding, it's possible that iconv (see man 3 iconv_open) will support
it (actually the latter even supports a couple of encodings that *are*
unique, give or take).
And if you can't find it in any of those places, it's also worth
checking the Unicode website, as there are predefined mappings for
various character encodings; you can find those here:

Kind regards,
Alastair.
