This is a copy/paste from the console output: as you can see, in my
commands the accents work just find, but in the bbackupquery.exe reply they
are gone.

Once I run "bbackupquery -u", the messages appear correctly, and subsequent
launches without '-u' still work correctly::

$ bbackupquery.exe -c ..\config\bbackupd.conf

How can the "-u" fix instances that are launched later without that switch?

%) Sure works:
