[Gambas-user] CryptoExample & gCrypto

[Brant Wells]

Hey Daniel:

I agree completely.  I think, though, that it will require some extra 
coding on our part...  Linux uses a variety of Character Sets...  where 
Windows uses ASCII or Unicode...  Right?

I've tried to do some coding witht he CONV$ function, but to no 
avail...  It converts my string to unicode...  but when I try to go back 
to System.Charset, I get a Bad String Conversion or something...  In 
looking at the code that I'm using for the VB, I notice that the VB 
converts the string to unicode and back...

On my system [Mandrake 10] the System.Charset="ISO-8859-1" ...  I can 
CONV$ from ISO8859-1 but I can't CONV$ back to it again.

If you [or anyone] has any ideas, please let me know... 
Thanks!
