Based on the fact that the output of "iconv -f iso-8859-7
LibGroup.xml" shows some of the expected Greek characters, I suspect
that the original Paradox database was using the ISO-8859-7 or
Windows-1253 character encoding, although whatever export routine
generated the file obviously mishandled its attempt to convert it to
UTF8.
