Kenneth, I must admit that I am very inexperienced with issues regarding 
code pages and converting among encodings... according to your 
description, is ticket 26 
<http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn/ticket/26> still valid? It 
sounds like the XML parser will "do the right thing" as long as the 
correct encoding is written to the XML files?
