Hello,

as my previous problem was solved that quickly, I am hopeful, this one might
find a solution too...

My code parses a text file which contains umlauts.

if I use a

string s;
instream>>s;
cout << s;

I get other characters (I think the lower 7bits of ascii standrad) instead
of theword containing umlauts.

Do I really have to use locales? or is there any other way?
Ok, I could use get() for each character and check the integer, and
translate it if necessary.
But is there a way to get the strings as intended?

This happens too if I use getline (stream, string); As soon some stream
in/output is involved umlauts are crippled.

I Hope there is someone out there who ran into the same problem.

Cheers
