Encoding/accents problem

[Eric Hedström]

What do you get if you run one of the .class files that works (e.g. 
compiled with /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/javac) and run it with the other VMs?

You may also have to set your local environment to make sure it is set 
to use ISO8859-1 or -15, to make sure the VMs don't default to 7-bit 
US-ASCII.

hope this helps,
Eric
