i did a search on convmv, found iconv, and it works and i can read 
slovak in scid now in all its natural beauty.

now the slovak text is also shown in the comment editor window and ready 
to be edited, previously that comment editor window was just left blank.

thank you SO much!

Hi,

Good. Your friend saved the pgn in cp-1250 (windows?) and you have to 
convert
this to utf-8

I opened your pgn with kwrite (or kate) and changed the code to cp1250.

There are many programs for converting (convmv) available on internet for
windows and linux.
