Re: iConv and DBCS data?

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it "appears" it's working for me as well.  View the

Convert it to an IFS file.  View that in the green screen
using WRKLNK.  They look good.

But transfer that file to the PC and they don't show...
just garbage where they trad chinese characters should be.
