Hi list, I'm very sorry and I know that it's a little late for a new string. We needed it for an important fix that had to be implemented before the final 2.3.0 version that will be released on August 11th. Here it is: $strCharsetOfFile = 'Character set of the file:'; I already did the German and French translations myself :-) Thanks in advance, Alexander M. Turek <rabus@users.sourceforge.net>
