ChsDet is a Charset Detector - as the name says - is a stand alone executable module for automatic charset / encoding detection of a given text or file.
ChsDet can be useful for internationalisation support in multilingual applications such as web-script editors or Unicode editors.
Given input buffer will be analysed to guess used encoding. The result - charset name or codepage id - can be used as control parameter for charset conversion procedure. Charset Detector can be compiled (and hopefully used:) for MS Windows (as dll - dynamic link library) using Delphi or Free Pascal or Linux using Delphi/Kylix.
Based on Mozilla's i18n component.
