French accents

[Guillaume Bataille <gb...@irisa.fr>]

I parse an xml file with french accents under win2000, vc6 and xerces
c++.
I use an IDOMParser.
When I extract words containing accents from the tree, accentuated
characters appear to have been transformed.
How can I fix that ?
It seems that it's a transcoder problem.
There is no setLocale() method for IDOMParser, maybe an alternative
solution.
How can I parameterize my system to choose the output encoding ?

My guess is the source document is encoded in ISO-8859-1, but does not have
an XML declaration so it is interpreted as UTF-8.  Add a:

<?xml encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

XML documents are not affected by the locale of the processor, they contain
their encoding information so that a document written in France doesn't
magically get converted to Japanese, Thai or whatever the code page used by
the reader.
