Description Shun-ichi TAHARA 2002-03-03 18:55:04 UTC 
In Japanese environment, excel format data collapses when saved.

The reasons are below:

1. Cannot get locale name collectly, always detect as "C" locale.

2. The plugin does not know what codepage to use in Japanese environment.

3. excel_iconv() may change the data length, so we must count data length
   after conversion of charcode.

The patch to resolve above is available on...

Looks good, but it can not go into 1.0.5 there is not enough time for testing.
I'll think about it in a day or 2 after 1.0.5.

Patch applied as part of 1.0.6.
