Igor, I have another question for you.  Maybe this should be addressed to
another list, but I figured you might know the answer.. hope this is not too
off-topic.  I have an TCL script that I run using Expect from Cygwin.  It
used to work fine, but one day something happened that messed it up, and I
can't figure out what it is.  Here's an 3-line version of the script,
demonstrating the problem, that you will understand even if you don't know
TCL or Expect:

#!/bin/tclsh
set author [lindex $argv 0]
puts #$author#

All this does is print to the standard output the first parameter to the
script from the command line.  When I run the script (testCyr.tcl) with a
cyrillic parameter:

expect testCyr.tcl ????????

I am expecting this output:

#????????#

but instead get:

#???????

and no error messages.  But some cyrillic strings, such as "???????" work
fine, as well as any latin string.  Any ideas?  I am positive that it worked
before!


Thanks,
Yury
