Dear Pavel,

you can use "from" to define the input encoding, like so  :

require 'iconv'

s =IO.read('kknta10.txt')

ic = Iconv.iconv('utf-8', 'cp1251',s)
f=File.new("t.txt","w")
f.puts ic
f.close

I was able to convert a file in Windows-cp1251 by Pushkin as given in the Project Gutenberg
(http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/5316) like this to utf-8 and I could open it in OpenOffice, to get
clear text.

Axel
