[cvsnt] Codepage Translation problems

[Alexandre Sénéchal]

Hi,

>From time to time I get this message:

cvs.exe log: Characters from server lost in translation

when I checkout a project or do a "CVS log".

I know this is caused by the locale translation, since 
the server is english and this happens when I checkout
some files with french names or comments (with french's
accentuated characters). So far it has not been too much 
of a problem, but if anyone knows how to correct this.
It would be much appreciated.

I tried setting the LANG environment variable but it 
didn't work.

regards,

Alexandre
