Hi,
a more complicated but customizable approach is to use
USEMARCON to do
the character set conversion. YAZ Proxy has built-in support
for
USEMARCON but you'd have to build the character conversion
table and
associated files yourself. I can give more information
regarding
USEMARCON if necessary.
Regards,
Ere
