Re: Unrecognized character set: windows-1252

Hi People
May be I am too newbie to understand the question, but may be I
have a hint.

One of our archives has texts in Turkish.
To enable the surfers to read them I was adviced to include
the charset=windows-1254 in the .rc file using the following lines:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1254">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-9">

See below the location of the lines in the header of the part
of the .rc file that convert the incoming posts to the html of the archive:

Hi, everyone,

I'm new to MHonArc. Like others, I've been getting these errors:

        Warning: Unrecognized character set: windows-1252

I haven't been able to figure out how to prevent this (and I'd like
to prevent it because the error messages are getting archived
themselves!), despite looking at the three previous discussions in
the archives:

You can shut-up the warnings if you register windows-1252 to
CHARSETCONVERTERS.

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/mhonarc/1999-10/msg00009.html

But I looked at:

http://mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/resources/charsetconverters.html

And still couldn't figure it out. Someone else reported that:

<CharsetConverters>
windows-1252;   iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
</CharsetConverters>

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/mhonarc/2000-06/msg00002.html

didn't work, and that's what I would've tried (maybe without the
spaces). Earl also said:

I have not seen a
document listing the specifics of windows-1252.  If anyone has any
pointers, pass them along.

I did a quick search and found:

http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.htm

But I'm not sure how to turn that into a CharsetConverter.

Help?

Bob
