Nah, that's fine, thanks :) ... it's not like I invented the function, I
just modified what was posted on this list so it'd work with Danish letters
for the purpose I had ... don't think I have any need for hebrew though.
But talking of WinAmp, it bothers me it isn't unicode. I have some songs
where the titles (or part of them) are in Cyrillic, and Windows Explorer
and Windows Media Player are sofar the only programs I've found that will
display those characters correctly. When playing them in Winamp it's cuz I
know the songs that I have some idea of which one it is...
