export from 8.1.7, import to 8.1.5

hi all,

I am trying to export from a 8.1.7 installation on Linux and import into 8.1.5 on Win2K. The export finished perfectly, with the Character set of US7ASCII. I did not have the NLS_LANG env param set in my shell. Now when I try to import the dmp file on the 8.1.5 installation on Win2K I get the error on imp:

Export file created by EXPORT:V08.01.07 via conventional path import done in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set
IMP-00069: Could not convert to environment national character set's handle
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

would anyone please point me to a place where I can pass this hurdle?

Thanx in advance,
-maz
