well, encoding issues tend to confuse me, badly. However, here are some ideas: - To narrow down the problem, it's always a good idea to try in plain R, or in this case, in the plain Rgui.exe (also included in the installation bundle). If there is any difference between plain R and RKWard, be sure to also check for differences in Sys.locale(). - Writing R Extensions has a section on encoding issues: http://cran.r- project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Encoding-issues . I'm not really sure, what to make of that, but I guess the best hints in there is to play with Encoding() (and possibly with enc2native()), and to check the "Encoding" field in the package's DESCRIPTION file. - I did not understand, how exactly you pass text to / from the external commands. If this involves writing to text files as an intermediate step, then of course it may be instructive to check the encoding of those intermediate files. Hope that helps a bit. Regards Thomas
