Re: RDi 9.9 **FREE RPG parser

Sorry, I made a mistake, because I forgot to start the verifier. I just
loaded the member into the editor without starting the verifier.

If I start the verifier I get the same error. The good thing is that adding
"-Dfile.encoding=CP1252" to "RDi.ini" fixed the problem. E.g.:

-Dequinox.resolver.batch.timeout=1000
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-ROOT
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=NONE
-Xms2048m
-Xmx2048m
-Dfile.encoding=CP1252

Thomas.
