The main problem with accurately representing Welsh is the use of accented vowels, i.e. a, e, i, o, u, w and y can have a circumflex accent, indicating that is is a long vowel. None of the 8859 codesets cover this; you are left with 10646.... Allwyn, correct me if I'm wrong!!! -greger- ------------------------------------------------------ Greger Leijonhufvud tel: +44 (0)181 747 3313 Friherr Software Ltd fax: +44 (0)181 742 1851 6 Belgrave Court email: greger@friherr.com London W4 4LG, UK
