[CWB] charset parameter in registry produces cqp errors

[Dieter Schicker]

Hi corpus hackers,

this is my first mail to this list so please forgive me if this has
already been answered before, and many thanks for this great piece of
software!

I got a problem concerning the "charset" parameter in the registry
files: When I enable the "charset = iso-8859-2" option (aka remove the
trailing "##::") then I get the following error in the cqp logs:

So, 2 questions:

1) What is the right syntax for the charset parameter?
2) Is the charset parameter still only "informational" like Stefan wrote
in http://devel.sslmit.unibo.it/pipermail/cwb/2007-February/000065.html

Thanks in advance
