There is no "the" filesystem. HFS may store decomposed, but other systems may not. And different file systems have a different set of allowable filenames. Some low-ASCII characters are invalid too. >So in short, don't do this.

But 'high-ASCII' filenames have been acceptable on the Mac for a very long time, and do work. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
