Thanks Gilles for the quick response. Well, we actually evaluating htdig 3.2.0b3. After some code-walking -thanks to open source!- I recognized that a "locale: de_DE.ISO8859-1" in the htdig.conf file will help. I was just fondling around with the LC_* environment vars before.
I suggest for upcoming htdig versions to introduce a "setlocale(LC_ALL, "");" in the beginning of the htdig/htsearch mains, since this would set the program locale according the env vars ;-) Matthias Emmert B2B Portal Development START Amadeus GmbH > ---------- > Von: Gilles Detillieux[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 19.
