Hi,

You can use the same native2ascii converter to reverse the conversion. The -reverse option associated with native2ascii converter will do the job for you. For more information click on http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/native2ascii.html.

use -encoding option to specify your native encoding
and use -reverse option too.

and tell me if I am correct because, I did not try it before!, furthermore, this is first time I read about code pages !!
