So, it works like a champ! Thanks!!! JGrasp does use gcc (the kids are writing in C++, so they're really using g++). I shouldn't have used the word crash. To be more precise, they are doing a merge sort of two sorted files into a third, sorted file. Each file contains records of financial transactions. They have written overloaded stream insertion, stream extraction and comparison operators to complete the task. When they read in the records they are read correctly, but when written out to the file, the text is corrupted. When the programs are compiled on the Windows side (same source, just using CodeWarrior for Windows) the output files are correct. That's why I thought the encoding error might be linked to the problem.
Also, what is env? I looked at the man pages and the info pages as well. I figured out that using env to invoke jgrasp with LANG=C is changing one of the environment variables, but I don't understand what C means in this case and I don't under stand what 'en_US.UTF-8' means either. Does that imply that the 'default character encoding' is english and uni-code, two byte representation? Where can I go to learn more about all of this?
