DLL? I am talking about iconv on redhat linux (7.3) that I used... it 
worked fine converting to UTF-8.

Again, there are two possible encodings for hebrew. They both use the 
exact same character set, and the difference being the letters ordering. 
Previously iso-8859-8 was used (and is called "Visual Hebrew"). That 
needed special rendering at the browsers, and eventually they came up 
using iso-8859-8-i(nverse) (also called "Logical Hebrew") - and this is 
what we at Israel use everywhere for the past 5+ years.

Again, I successfully made UTF-8 files from hebrew using the following 
command:

iconv -f windows-1255 -t utf-8 original -o target
