Well, you can write a library routine, but if you have to invoke it in a separate pass it's not as efficient. : Not going to happen. Charset conversion mismatches either throw an : exception or falls back to a default bogus character. Seems to me that a reasonable compromise is merely to provide a way to hook in a user-defined callback and leave it at that. Then the user can have whatever policy they like, and Dan doesn't have to implement it. Larry
