Unicode in cgi-script with apache2

[Dominique Ramaekers]

Hi John,

The error is in the line "print(line,end='')"... and it only happens 
when the script is started from a webbrowser. In the terminal, the 
script works fine.
See my previous mail for my findings after a lot of reading and trying...
