Hi,

but these scrambled characters are all in the basic Western European
charset: ISO-8859-1. They should display fine. In Win2k you can't set the
non-unicode programs charset to anything else - if I'm correct.
I looked at the manpage to see what I can do about it. I couldn't find the
relevant setting.

Can you help me on this?

Thanks,
J.
