Thanks for the reply.
Yes, those encodings are built-in in expat. However, there are
other encodings, such as big5 and several version of Japanese
encodings, are also supported with the perl XML::Parser I got
from CPAN.
Does this mean I have to do more than just generate a .enc file?
Do I need to write a handler by myself? This could be strange if
it IS required. GB2312 is widely used for Chinese characters and
works fine under win32 environment.
