that is an very old and probably very little known problem.
The MacOS handles chars with ascii-numbers >128 different than
Windows/Unix does. That's why all chars aA to zZ and numbers
from 0 to 9 always look OK and others don't.
Thats why some french post here on the list sometimes look more
like chinese...That is just a joke!!!
I personally love france, french and the french people, mais bien sur...
Some of my best friends are french, honestly... :-)
I even saw this problem in "professional" (?) applications like
Internet Explorer on Mac and on Win !!!
But, thank Scott, there is MC.
That will do the necessary translation, if we like to.
Put these little functions in your stackscript and call them
whenever you send or get (!) text over the net.
Give them a norwegian name, to make it a bit more familiar ;-)
function macorwin_out dertext ##german for the text :-)
if the platform contains "Mac" then
return mactoiso(dertext)
else
return dertext
end if
end macorwin_send
function macorwin_in dertext
if the platform contains "Mac" then
return isotomac(dertext)
else
return dertext
end if
end macorwin_get
In your example you should script:
...
put "ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/diamp/Itadiamp/ItaRes/"; &
kortfil into tilfil
put macorwin_out(fld "utskrift" of last cd) into url tilfil
...
When you received some text from the net, use the other function.
.....
put macorwin_in(url tilfil) into fld "whatever"
Hope that helps.
