German special characters

Hi Petr,

through an error message of a Python script, I found the following entry in an ADIF file exported from CQRLOG:

"... <NOTES:61>DLFF-024, Biosphäre Flusslandschaft Elbe, bei Dessau-Roßlau<ITUZ:2>28 ..."

In the text string, the character "ä" and "ß" are included.

NOTES-Fieldlength is 61 but there are only 59 characters in the string.

Is that correct, or is it a bug?

Hi Wolfgang,

the length is correct, but it's a bug. It's 61 bytes long but only 59 characters because "ä" and "ß" are two bytes long, it's in UTF. I'll fix it in next release of CQRLOG, I'm sorry.
