It's a question of semantics... it's an extension (part of the _XOPEN_UNIX option group), but if supported, it's supposed to be part of libc. I don't think the SUS states this explicitly, but it's implied by the lack of mention of a separate iconv library in the c99 man page. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
