Re: Change encoding?

[John Darrington]

Pspp assumes that the sav file's encoding is the same as the current
locale.  If that's not true, then you can change the LC_CTYPE environment
variable to match the encoding of the file.


For example, the file at 
http://savannah.gnu.org/file/databas.sav?file_id=1906 is encoded
in ISO-8859-1, whereas my system default is UTF-8.    When I open it,
the non-ascii characters appear as '?'.  But if I type 
"export LC_CTYPE=en_AU.ISO-8859-1" then it displays properly.

Hope this helps.
