Right, because the windows encoding is close to 8859-1
but not exactly the same...

not using it...using as follows..
filenameStr --> FileWriter --> PrintWriter --> HTML
OUTPUT

Ok, so I'll chain it like so...
filenameStr --> FileOutputStream -->
OutputStreamWriter --> PrintWriter --> HTML OUTPUT
.. using the charset string as "8859-1" as the arg to
OuputStreamWriter.

I think you are right. Lot's of THANKS for the
feedback I'll give those suggestions a try.
