With plain ASCII text there's no problem as I mentioned in my previous
post. The problem occurs with ISO-8859-1 characters. I think Yarn
translates the Windows codes (I believe they are the same as ISO-8859-1)
generated by WordPad or any other Windows editor as they were CP850.
Am I correct? Is there a way to inhibit this "translation"?
