Fortunately, the problem was solved for me by Robert Dewar and Nicolas Setton for the output window of the GPS - it turned out that one has to set the environment variable CHARSET to UTF-8. I still have a problem with the windows console (started with cmd). Alghout the console can show UTF-8 characters using Lucida Console font (from a fairly restricted subset of Unicode), and one can change the code page to UTF-8 (code page 65001), the programs show a run time error. I will give the details in the ticket GB04-005. You are right, it is not a problem of the compiler.

Of course you need a console which is capable of displaying UTF-8 encoded text and have the necessary fonts available. I just checked with gnome-terminal (set to UTF-8) and uxterm, and the happy_new_year_cn_cn outputs nicely formatted Chinese dates (and the new year message for 2007-02-18 and 2008-02-07, so it looks like it works). Not that I understand Chinese of course ... ;-) I do not think this is a problem with the compiler, but with the setting of your console.

I have compiled the programs and run them. Unfortunately, the results are not very satisfactory, as I have seen neither Russian nor Chinese text in the output window and/or console. Is the problem already solved?(I have academic version 2007-2 of GPS and the compiler, on Windows). Has anybody been able to see the output as it should look like?
