Description




As far as character set conversions go, the Java API is
deficient, and seriously compromises its functionality.

Supported Converters. Although internally supported, there is no public method to determine which
converters are supported on which systems. The lists used in the applet are a fixed list of those
converters shipped on Sun's JDK 1.1.2. Your system may support more converters--there is no way
to find out!
