Hi Frank,

thank you a lot for your information!

OK! I can edit the file and erase this char with hexedit. 
But is it possible, that all files of minivend has a lot of this char
and this char produces some failure? E.g. i have trouble to find an
items (publisher = WESTFÄLISCHES DAMPFBOOT) with "wesftä" as a
searchstring and mv_case=0 (or mv_case=no). 
Or why did i get a new tar file from the minvend ftp site with this
char? I have not changed the version of my FreeBsd, tar or NS.

Don´t misunderstand me. I am new in FreeBSD and perl! I try to find the
mistake or any error anywhere in my machine or codes. Did i have this
trouble only?

This is my problem and this is the reason, why i have post my email
here!

With a big thank for any hints, suggestions, tips, helps or moral
support

Joachim
