I'm seeing a small problem with text encodings in V4Rb 2.0.5.  I'm 
importing some records into a Valentina database.  The text is 
MacRoman-encoded and contains curly apostrophes; these apostrophes are 
lost when I assign the text to a VField.  In particular, if I execute 
the following code
c.TextField("description").Value = "Valentina’s"
dim foo as String = c.TextField("description").Value
where the string "Valentina’s" is MacRoman-encoded, foo is set to 
"Valentinas".
If I first convert the encoding of "Valentina’s" to UTF-8, then there 
are no problems.
