[R] Attn Heinz Tuechler: Re: problem with special characters (ä,ö,ü)
[I tried to send this message privately, but the return address bounced.] I think this has been fixed in R-patched, but I doubt if the fix has been tested in Win98. Could you please download a copy from <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html> and confirm that it has been fixed?

The bug, which is, as I have learned, not a bug of R but of Win98, does not appeare any more. Many thanks to those who helped me to cope with one bug of windows.
