Many thanks for your explanation. In the meantime I noticed, that utf8 to mac
chrashed not with a new copy of 4D ( ! ) , it only stopped with the string at
the beginning of the malformed. :-)
Later I was doing tricks, I looked what comes back from the URL decoded form
variables, and changed the Umlauts with Replace string.
Now I will try the easy way.
Many thanks.
