[GRASS5] tcltkgrass readme text (not)

Well...

I **thought** I did select plain ASCII. When I have a bit of time later this week or next I'll try to figure this out and post a new package to my web site.

Also, I'm part way into a tcltkgrass 4.1 that streamlines access to scripts and will use the same scripts for GRASS 5.3 and 5.7. I've been swamped with other things, but should get some time soon to move ahead on this.

What is the non-ASCII character in help.tcl. I don't remember messing with help (though my memory is not always to be trusted), but can fix this.

Doesn't the text editor have an option to select the output encoding?
Text should be in ASCII where possible, otherwise either ISO-8859-1 or
UTF-8 (I'm not sure which we should prefer although, AFAICT, all
existing occurrences of non-ASCII characters are in ISO-8859-1).

BTW, tcltkgrass/main/help.tcl contains a non-ASCII character:

      Using the select button, you can choose the specific module´s manpage.

That should probably be changed to the normal ASCII single quote
character.

In:

The apostrophe in "module's" is actually the "acute" character
(decimal 180, octal 264). It should be the ASCII single quote
character (decimal 39, octal 47).

I found and fixed this in tcltkgrass for GRASS 5.3, and also changed the readme.txt file to (I hope) plain ASCII text. I did it in BBEdit and checked it in NEdit. It seems to be fine now. Here are the relevant files. I will update my own *.tar.gz package next week if possible

Oops; I've just noticed a second occurrence in help.tcl:

   4) The window´s positions and the windows, which shall be open also in the

Again, the apostrophe in "window's" is the wrong code.
