You got used to ASCII, like all the old-timers... ;) export LANG=C is your solution. By the way, I noticed that with the default locale C.UTF-8 the nl_langinfo(CODESET) C function returns wrongly "ISO-8859-1", while if I set LANG to nl_NL.UTF-8 nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns correctly "UTF-8". The locale command returns LC_ CTYPE="C.UTF-8" and LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8". -- Erwin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
