Alternative to iconv

[Walter Barnes]

Thanks Eric, I had previously ran the setup utility and searched for 
iconv and found only the libraries (libiconv and libiconv2). Also, 
libiconv2 was pre-installed but I was still getting "command not found" 
when I attempted to run iconv. I went ahead and installed the libiconv 
package in addition to libiconv2 and it works now... maybe a note in the 
package description that libiconv2 does not include the executable?

Thanks again,
Walter
