Umlauts and Revolution

[Peter Malecki]

Hello Ruslan,

----------------------
NOTE: db files must be in UTF16 only!
   please do not try set db to be UTF8.
---------------------
db.IOEncoding()
----------------------
My first actions :-). In the list archive I only found a thread about
input / output problems. Here both are working well by itself for
Valentina Studio and Revolution (UTF-16), apparently there is an issue
of data exchange. It seems I have to convert date before sending it
from Revolution, but how and what special scheme do I need?
