[CWB] Non-Latin1 characters in Windows

[Serge Heiden]

Hi,

Let me add another approach:
- use a full Unicode aware Graphical User Interface wrapper to CQP -
with Unicode input methods and display capabilities,
like the TXM platform 
(http://textometrie.ens-lyon.fr/spip.php?article67&lang=en), for example.

Best,
Serge
