Scheme: reading Extended ASCII files

[nbeaudet]

Hello to all!

I am attempting to read Ascii files into Scheme. For some reason unknown to me, accented letters (ExtendedASCII) are ignored.

I am using the following statements:

Code:

(define inFile (open-input-file "E:/SomeFile.txt"))
(read inFile)

(read inFile) will properly read words with punctuation.

But lines like :

Lods: redevance féodale
Tourer: préparer pâte feuilletée 

will be read in as :

Lods: redevance fodale
Tourer: prparer pte feuillete 

Labelling of layers/channels/LayerGroups, in stand-alone scripts I have programmed, have shown no difficulties with accented letters.

What is missing from my code above?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas Beaudet
