| For the iconv() example, to use UTF-8, you need to define a larger output

| reason is that UTF-8 can vary between 1-4 bytes per character.

Up to 4 bytes?  Did NOT know that.  You mean to tell me the are practical
uses for a Codepage or CCSID that encompasses > 64K characters??  Just
wondering what that would be, as (at least used ta) view DBCS as sufficient.
