Hello, I am in China, and I want to use CVSNT on a Windows server and client. I would like CVSNT to use Unicode (ideally UTF-8), but I'm having trouble getting both sides set. The default appears to be GBK. I can set the server to be Unicode using the control panel, but how can I set the client? I have tried playing with the chcp command, and setting the LANG environment variable, but with no result. This problem is also affecting ViewVC, especially with filenames that have Chinese characters in the name. Here is a log of the CVSNT session (server not presently set to Unicode): D:\Manuscripts>"c:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -t -d ":pserver:Zzzzzz at 192.168.1.39:/CVSMain" co -c 15:51:15: -> Tracelevel set to 1. PID is 3932 15:51:15: -> Session ID is f5c485e04732d94 15:51:15: -> Session time is Sun Jun 22 07:51:15 2008 15:51:15: -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:Zzzzzz at 192.168.1.39:/CVSMain 15:51:16: -> Server codepage is GBK 15:51:16: -> Client codepage is GBK 15:51:16: -> Server version is CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 15:51:16: -> Client version is CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 15:51:16: -> Requesting server cvsignore 15:51:16: -> Requesting server cvswrappers 15:51:16: -> Requesting server cvsrc (read-cvsrc2) I can change the server codepage, but how about the client codepage? Any help would be appreciate. If this is a Windows setup issue, a pointer to a web page would be great. Thanks, Mitch.
