char set (not yet)

Hola otra vez!

My problem is still there...
Let me be more specific now:
I have a Sybase (11.5) database running inside an HP Vectra XU on top  
of Windows NT 4.0 with about 0.5 GB of data. Such a data was generated  
by several apps running inside HP Apollos (712/60) on top of NeXTSTEP  
3.3 (with EOF 1.1). All these in Mexico city, so my users use spanish  
characters in all the strings;  in particular, lots of accented ones.
I am in the process of migrating all these into Macs on top of OSX(S).  
So I am using EO's JDBC (from WO 5.2) in order to get the connectivity  
to the db, but all my strings shows wrong... in both directions: if,  
from my Mac, I fetch some data captured in the NeXT side, it shows rare  
characters; and the other way arround.

I realy nead some help in this isue!!!!!!!

I had try several hints (from this and other lists) but nothing seem to  
work...

HELP
