Hello Karel,

i have to work  with legacy frequently and agree it's annoying. If  
there's no chance to convince the supplier of these documents to  
switch to UTF-8, then u might google for a Bundle that was done by  
Hans-Jörg Bibiko to read/convert such files in one step. If i remember  
correctly, this bundle made use of the iconv-command, which is present  
on every osx. U could q&d roll your own 'drag-command' with iconv to  
import and convert in one step.

greets andreas
