Thank you for your comments, mortee and 7stud.

I've tried to find out what the character sets are. My Windows shell
says it works on codepage 850. (I used the command "chcp" to find
out.) Everything else seems to be ISO-8859-1. Does anyone know what I
have to replace for one of the two ISO-strings below..

     Iconv.new('ISO-8859-1', 'ISO-8859-1').iconv(line)

..when I want to convert "line" between ISO-8850-1 and codepage 850?

Any help is appreciated.

Rainer
