Wine (and Windows NT OSes) use unicode for the command-line. Wine would convert the UTF-8 unix command-line to a UTF-16 Windows command-line. It is then up to the Windows locale conversion to convert that UTF-16 string to the locale's character set. -- Ben Peddell IT Support Bowen, Collinsville and Proserpine Catholic schools http://klightspeed.killerwolves.net/
