Btw., it's really not tricky to create a filename with special characters: #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <locale.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { wchar_t w_fname[] = { 'q', 'q', 0x20ac /* euro sign */, 0 }; char fname[32]; int fd; setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8"); wcstombs (fname, w_fname, 32); fd = open (fname, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0644); if (fd >= 0) close (fd); else perror ("open"); return 0; } Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
