[tinysql] Problems with special characters

[Taq]

Hi,

this is an encoding problem. DBase is a rather old format and does not understand 
unicode. DBase files contain a flag in the header defining which codepage is used
to encode the characters in the file.

If you aren't using a version from the cvs, you should upgrade, as it is 
likely that the encoding problem is solved there. If the upgrade does not solve
the problem (or you are already using the latest version), then, arrrgghh, we will
have to investigate ...

Have more fun,

If have trouble reading special characters like ë and ï from the dbf file,
other programs read the same file fine.
Are there known problems about this and if not what else coulbe a reason why
this is happening ?

Thanks
