I want to use UTF-8 throughout. Because: - a lot of UNIX tools using network (e.g. rsync, scp, ...) treat the file name as 8bit byte array. - default locale of modern UNIX based OS is *.UTF-8. - The file with the filename including the character outside the codepage (e.g. files in iTunes folder) can be handled. -- IWAMURO Motnori <http://vmi.jp/> -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
