[ODBC] Translation Latin 2 (8859-2) and Windows-1250

Hi everyone,

I have made slight changes in "psqlkoi8.dll"
made by Aleksey Demakov <avd@gcom.ru>
to support character translation between
Latin2 (8859-2) and Windows1250 charset
for Insight Postgres SQL ODBC driver 6.5.0

I have posted sources and new DLL library to
my server http://pessoft.scifi.cz/public/ so you
can take it from there. If should be nice to include
it into PSQLODBC download page located at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/psqlodbc_download.html
to help other Czech and Slovak users get correct
locale language support. I have tested it between
RedHat + PostgreSQL 7.0.2 with Latin2 locale and
Windows 98SE CZ + Visual FoxPro 5.0CZ and it
works OK.

Happy PostreSQLing...

Why was this necessary? Doesn't driver do this already if you use connect 
string where you set your client encoding to 1250?
