Encoding in Valentina 1.11

[Bill Mounce]

Ruslan,

Yes, everything is being done on a Mac, the import file is set to 
MacRoman, encodings set to MacRoman, and I use convertEncoding when 
setting the value of a field. But when I try to save it to Valentina, 
or take it out of Valentina and write a text file, the encoding messes 
everything up.

I am sure it is an issue with Valentina because if I just read in a 
text file, process it, and write out a new text file, doing all the 
same things I am doing with Valentina except for saving it, everything 
works,

I set all the fields in Valentina to "ENGLISH". I assume this means to 
tell Valentina to use MacRoman (or something similar).

Any other suggestions?

BIll

P.S. Do you have the samples done for Valentina 2.0? I read through the 
documentation but there are enough differences that I wanted to see the 
single table example.
