[Dxspider-support] Character encoding?

[Bela Markus]

Hi,

what is about character encoding within a SPIDER network and in general 
in DXCLUSTER? While in practice I do not see special characters in spots 
and announcements, are there any restrictions, conventions or rules?

My system is running on CentOS 5 with UTF-8 and Hungarian locales. A 
quick try in local announcements shows that special characters like 
éáőúűüö etc. are OK. In the log file they are converted to single byte 
codes. No more examination done.

Dirk can give more precise answer for sure.
