Subject [OT] flamerobin 0.9.4 release
Author Ismael L. Donis Garcia
Excuse all for OT.

Will somebody be able to tell me if the answer of Michael Hieke is possible?

I don't understand. Then because is seen in Windows with ISO8859_1?
The same database if I open it with Flamerobin from Windows I see the
descriptions of the exceptions and if I open it from Linux not.

Best Regards
