MacOSX as well as Unix/Linux OSes encodes in UTF8/16, while Windows GUI doesn't (I don't know XP since I never worked for XP GUI). I am almost certain my Win2K GUI is using in CP932 which is Microsoft propriety encoding. Just to be clear, NT kernel does process in UTF8, but GUI transcoder is the one doing some odd things. I zipped with these characters in the file name first. Windows unzip utilities won't unzip them until I renamed the file name to ASCII. >i know you can register websites in germany with addresses which >include extended characters, This is totally different. You are accessing to website where encoding matches with your web browser encoding. It has nothing to do with your OS encoding. For example, yahoo was (or still is, I don't know) using EUC encoding. The site tells your browser what encoding to use. All in all, US Windows user never suffers from crappy Windows encoding business since you will never see these problems :-( -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
