Russian encoded text

[Trevor DeVore]

Hello,

I have some text that is stored in a MySQL database that is encoded  
as Cyrillic-Win.  I am exporting the database to Valentina 1.x for  
distribution with a Revolution application.  I am doing the export  
from MySQL to Valentina on a mac.  I fetch the records from MySQL,  
translate the strings from Cyrillic-Win to Cyrillic-Mac and insert  
them into a Valentina database.  The language of the fields in the  
Valentina database are set to Russian.

When I view the text retrieved from the Valentina database on Mac OS  
X everything looks fine.  When I view the text from Valentina on  
Windows I get gibberish.  For example, character 130 in the Cyrillic  
Mac table is showing up as character 199 on Windows.

I guess my question is what kind of conversion is Valentina doing in  
the background with Russian text?

Thanks,
