still valid?

maybe you can supply a sample-shapefile containing non-ascii column names

p.s. I've tried to add in the attribute table manager of a vector (dbf-table) a column named "UGOść".

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Program
Files\GRASS-64-SVN\etc\wxpython\gui_modules\dbm.py", line
1683, in OnTableItemAdd

index = list.InsertStringItem(sys.maxint, str(name))
UnicodeEncodeError

the DBF format dates back to the early 1980s. It's not surprising that it doesn't deal well with ascii chars >127. does it fail if you switch to a more modern DB as the back-end? (db.connect)

The error is in the GUI, not the database code. Even if there are problems with DBF and non-ASCII characters, it isn't getting that far.

Is the str() call actually necessary? I would have expected InsertStringItem to accept a Unicode object.
