I'm using SmartICQ, which is an ICQ based on mIRC. It has a file called ICQ.dll which handles all the icq connections.

When receiving the users lsit from the ICQ server, the data is being sent in UTF8, and I know that mIRC doesn't support UTF8!!!

The nicknames are being saved into a text file which its format is UTF8. When I restart ICQ, it reads from the text file and therefor for some text (none english text), the nicknames doesn't look as they should be.

The solution of this problem is opening the text file and saving it as ANSI instead of UTF8.

Is there any way of doing the text file conversion automatically using mIRC, or by somehow telling windows to do it??

Thanks.
