Local Interbase and international characters

Hi!

I have an old Oracle 5.1b database that I'm trying to import
into LIBS. I write everything out to a text file and use
CREATE TABLE AS EXTERNAL FILE "FILE.TXT" to read it into IB.

The data transfers OK, but I'm having a bit of a problem with the
scandinavian characters. If I use WISQL they come out OK, but
from Database Explorer or DbGrid in Delphi they come out as control
characters.

This works the other way too - if I create a record in the DB Explorer
it looks Ok, but looks funny in WISQL.

The default driver is Paradox nordan40.

How can I match the language driver for DB Explorer and WISQL??

Regards

/Erik

Did you define ISO8859_1 (approx.!) as the language driver when you
created the database or table ?
