Hi Nobumi, I'm happy to hear from you again.

I didn't know what was EUC encoding but found this page:
<http://cns-web.bu.edu/pub/djohnson/web_files/i18n/euc.html>

Yes, its simply not working. See my note at the bottom of the page:
<http://scriptdigital.com/divers/simplifiedchinese.html>

In my case, that's ok for the client.

Well, I'm in luck for this project since I need only Simplified
Chinese to work.

Now the client want me to check if he could use the search engine.

In theory, it should work somehow (with some patching I guess), but
I'm not sure. I need to make further testing. I think I need to send
to the indexing routine ISO-8859-1 strings instead of MacRoman (the
server is on Mac OS 9.0.4).

Anyone have an idea on this?

TIA

Cheers
