Folks

How can I force Grass6 to use iso8859-2 for data base encoding? Cannot be done via DB_ENCODING variable. iso8859-2 is the encoding standard for any Linux distro with Polish settings. We rather don't use utf8.

v.digit:
GRASS6.1.cvs(xy):~> g.gisenv set=GRASS_DB_ENCODING=iso-8859-2
GRASS6.1.cvs(xy):~> v.digit -n pokus
