Ah, I did not know this. But if this is possible, may be the fine system 
could check for itselves. Then it would be possible to work with various 
test suite data bases in different encodings without having to change 
the locale before looking at another one. I put together a CD rom with a 
Chinese and a German grammar. At the current stage one either gets 
Umlaute or Chinese characters.

Thank you very much
