Re: st: Stata crashes when loading a dataset

I should have also mentioned that after I load the dataset
into Stata (whatever version, or OS) I can then save it as
a new file and then re-open it normally:
. use * using "C:\data\foreign_data.dta"
. save "C:\data\not_so_foreign_data.dta"
. clear
. use "C:\data\not_so_foreign_data.dta"
Stata seems to modify the non-ASCII characters to ASCII when using
-use- with a varlist.
I also could not replicate the problem. I think you would have
to have another computer setup with a foreign language to create the
test dataset and then open the test dataset on your own computer.
The foreign character when read into Stata ends up looking like
"a" with a tilde "~" over it.
