I used the Perl module Text::Iconv which itself uses iconv(3) This module seems to suck or I am to dump to use it. If I convert the raw Japanese Packages file with iconv(1) (which probably uses iconv(3), too) all escape sequences seem to be generated correctly, if I use Text::Iconv->convert, only the very first one is. I will either try another Perl module or just preprocess the Packages file... Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/
