Hi Bob, 

thanks for your quick answer.

The iconv thing was just a tiny issue, as the prototype expects a const char**  as its second argument.

i attached 2 diffs for your project which may be interresting to you.
the api.c diff should be important for portability.
e.g. solaris and msvc++ do #define stdout (&_iob[1]), so you can
do something like stdout=...
but BSD derivatives define stdout another way:
extern FILE *__stdinp, *__stdoutp, *__stderrp;
#define stdout  (__stdoutp)

which makes stdout an improper l-value for such an assignement.
the way i've rewritten it should work well on all platforms.

i just finished the patches and checked the lib compiles so far, will check if it produces any acceptable results tomorrow (its 3:02am now, time for some ZzZ).

anyways i wanted to send the patches for review.


regards,
heri
