Art,  this man got an Umlaut (aka a "u-trema" in French) instead of an
accent aigue.  Eheheh

Sorry, I could not resist, though I really tried.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

Subject:        How to use FTP transfer French characters from HP3000 to NT
server?

We have a MPE file on HP3000 which has some info in French. When I use FTP
to transfer it from HP3000 to NT server. Those French characters changed.
For example, the 3rd character of "QUEBEC" should be a prime on top of "E".
But it changed to two "." on top of "U" after file transfer.

I tried to set FTP into ASCII, BINARY and BYTESTREAM mode. It doesn't help.
And I tried to send this file to HP9000 UNIX server and then send it from
UNIX to NT server. It doesn't help too.

But if I use reflection to transfer this file, all those French characters
transferred correctly. But I don't want to use reflection to do it because
reflection transfer cannot write into a MPE job. That file changes
everyday. I don't want to do this transfer manually every day.

If anybody has experiences in special characters transfer with FTP, please
give me some suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
