[windev] Converting from greek....

[Roberto Tirabassi]

Dear Serge,
    I think I'll take a look to all the points of your email but I think 
I have to underline

> - accents and friends are usually called 'diacritics'.
>   
    Sorry for my english.... it seems to be too poor.
> - universita' is indeed different from università from a codepoints list
> standpoint. However, even if you type universita' (e.g. because your
> keyboard doesn't have the letter à), Windows automatically converts it to à.
> Which means you'll very rarely find universita' in text. Of course, it's not
> impossible since your text may come from very various sources.
>   
    It happens more frequently than you can imagine expecially when you 
have to cnvert data coming from systems coming from the seventies.

    Before taking a loot to all the following point I have to apologize 
since I forgot to explain that I have to obtain the same identical 
behavior in Windows as well as Linux, Sun Solarsi, IBM Aix, and MacOs 
too... our system is granted to be absolutelly platform independent and 
I have to obtain the same result no matter on which server I'm working 
on. If I move a whole archive from a Sun Solaris server to a Windows one 
or a Linux one the Database will have to work exactly as before, just 
substituting the binary dir, with the same behavior. That's why I must 
find a way that isn't dependent from Windows, a solution that should 
depend on something absolutely standard...

                           Roberto Tirabassi.
