 > Any news on this issue, at least for GRASS 7 ?

 I've just tested in WinXP and can reproduce the startup error when the
 path to GISDBASE contains special characters (in this case latin1
 accents).

 If I follow Maris' comment:18 then the only solution would be to call
 grass.py directly from a python script, and not from a .bat. Is that
 correct ?
