Sesame in Germany

Just thought I would mention this:
Any user names with umlauts (German special characters - äöü - e.g. Köster) used in Q&A Databases will not function when translated into Sesame.  It may be wise to rename or delete such entries before translating.

I sat for 20 minutes repeatedly entering a known user and password only to find Sesame ignoring it.

Q&A for DOS (I am not sure about Q&A for windows) does not use ISO standard code pages for western languages. We do try to translate from their proprietary "code page" to ISO-8859-1/15 as best we can - but there are exceptions. It may be that the user names are an exception or were overlooked.
