Maybe it's assuming UTF8 and your screen is assuming ISO9660-1? Or something like that. The brute force method would to run the page through "sed -e 's/ü/�/g' -e 's/ä/�/g'" etc. Is the last one meant to be "H�hner"? Are there capital versions of these letters? How about things like "�"? -- -eben QebWenE01R(a)vTerYizUonI.nOetP royalty.mine.nu:81 Your pretended fear lest error might step in is like the man who would keep all wine out of the country lest men should be drunk. -- Oliver Cromwell

I tried to paste the right words in my Xnews client when I posted. Looked correct here on my screen but from the reply-quoted-snippets they seem messed up. So you guys probably couldn't see the correct versions. Sorry. Again seems an encoding issue! I guess talking between two languages seems harder than it seems! The exact correct render is online at google: http://translate.google.com/translate_dict?q=cat&hl=en&langpair=en%7Cde' Are there capital versions of these letters?
