This probably is not on the level of the other work here, and def too 
windoze oriented, but I have some nasty little hacks to be able to get 
ISCII code into and out of databases (specifically Access and SQL 
Server) and converted to Java's internal unicode format when using the 
Merant JDBC drivers included with Jrun.  This allows one to store, 
retrieve and search ISCII data in text and varchar fields.

Theyre just nastly little hacks, but less than trivial due to the way 
the JDBC driver interprets the high order bit of ISCII chars.  Also they 
may provide some insight in the problems needed to be overcome to write 
DB Apis for ISCII text, and interfacing Unicode with ASCII and ISCII.

I am attaching the relevant hacks in the attached class... Warning: not 
for the weak of heart... :)
