Hi Gianluca,
I think that the problem you arise is about the 2 different platforms: Win
and Mac.
The default setting for $CharacterEncoding is $SystemCharacterEncoding and
normally is set to "WindowsANSI" on Win machines.
I might give you some hints but I'm not sure,sorry!
Did you already try these settings: $CharacterEncoding = "MacintoshRoman"
or $CharacterEncoding = None
to take all special characters to be represented externally by printable
ASCII sequences ?
I hope this helps you.
