Using transcoder class?

[Mark A Russell <ma...@csgsystems.com>]

This question is directly related to my previous one about "XMLCh & wchar_t
conversion on multiple platforms"

My question is, how do you use the ICUTranscoder and IconvTranscoder? I
can't seem to figure out how to get them to work.  So lots of questions
below related to the specific transcoders and their usage.

IconvTranscoder: (Is this even valid? Or should it really be
IConv400Transcoder?)
	1. Constructor takes an XMLCh that's suppose to have the encoding name.
How do I determine what encoding name to use?
	2. Constructor also takes an int that's suppose to be blocksize.  Is this
the sizeof(wchar_t)? If not what should it be for the different encodings?
	3. Both the transcodeOne and transcodeXML functions take an XMLByte*.
Looking through the headers it looks like an XMLByte is defined as a char.
How can I give these functions a wchar_t and get a XMLCh back without
loosing the Unicode first by converting to char*?  I'm probably just not
making a connection on this one.
	4. IconvTranscoder doesn't define the  transcodeTo & transcodeFrom that are
found in its base class so this doesn't seem like a valid transcoder.
Should it be the I really should be using Iconv400Transcoder (or 390)?
	5. How do you convert from an XMLCh back to wchar_t with the transcoders?
(I know its the transcodeFrom function, but that only gives an XMLByte.) How
do you get from the XMLByte to the wchar_t that you really want?


ICUTranscoder:
	1. Same question as IconvTranscoder #1
	2. What is the UConverter and where is it defined? (Tried looking and cant
find its definition)
	3. Same question as IconvTranscoder #2
	4. Same question as IconvTranscoder #3
	5. Same question as IconvTranscoder #5


In all likelihood I will be using the IconvTranscoder assuming that is the
way this should be done.

Help greatly appreciated. Thank You,
