Hi,
if you parse the xml file you should find that the first line
specifies the character encoding of the xml file. Something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Often xml files are encoded in either Unicode or UTF-8, both can be
converted with TEC (Text Encoding Converter, part of the Mac OS). I
think there is an osax that provides an interface to TEC, search
osaxen.com.
If your high order ascii chars appear as 2 characters in the xml file
it probably is UTF-8. If you want to produce unicode strings on the
Mac side of things a complete conversion table is somewhat lengthy,
but you should be able to find one in perl.
cheers, Frank

ups, these characters got lost, so i'll describe it:
"e plus accent" should get converted to "radix plus copyright-sign".
the questions remain:
two questions:
what kind of conversion is that at all?
where can i find a complete conversion table?
thank you very much.
