Summary: Extended characters not parsed correctly...

Initial Comment:
We have been using the expat parser for a couple years 
and have recently had need for parsing extended 
characters (128-255).  Even though I specify "iso-8859-
1" in my parser create, it still is returning me incorrect 
character data.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I am on a window 2000 platform with 1.95.6 now.

I feed in the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> 
<MESSAGE>TÖNY</MESSAGE>

What I get out of the parse is (start,character data,
hex of character data, end):
MESSAGE
T&#9500;ûNY
54 ffffffc3 ffffff96 4e 59
MESSAGE

My code is as follows:

void startElement(void *userData, const char *name, 
const char **atts)
{
	printf("%s\n",name);
}

void endElement(void *userData, const char *name)
{
	printf("%s\n",name);
}

void characterData(void *userData, const XML_Char *s, 
int len)
{
	char s2[256000];
	int i;
	strncpy(s2,s,len);
	s2[len]=0;
	printf("%s\n", s2);
	for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)
		printf("%x ",s2[i]);
	printf("\n");
}

void ParseXML(const char* csInput)
{
	XML_Parser parser = XML_ParserCreate("iso-
8859-1");
	int len = 0;
	XML_SetElementHandler(parser, startElement, 
endElement);
	XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser, 
characterData);

	len = strlen(csInput);
	
	printf("started XML parse\n");

    if (!XML_Parse(parser, csInput, len, 1)) 
	{
		printf("%s at line %d column %d\n",
	      XML_ErrorString(XML_GetErrorCode
(parser)),
	      XML_GetCurrentLineNumber(parser),
		  XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber
(parser));
		return;
    }
	XML_ParserFree(parser);
}


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony
