I am not proficient with Windows APIs and none of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363858(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363874(VS.85).aspx shed any light for me. What I thought is that toFilesystemEncoding() should do the right thing and that CreateFile should follow. I don't know the internals, but if the docs to CreateFile don't tell me anything about the encoding, I assume that I can pass any of the two possible encodings and they will be dealt with correctly. For what I know, CreateFile could use the W or A APIs according to whatever succeeds, but this is a speculation of mine. I generally try to stay away from direct exposure to Windows and use the Cygwin shield, which worked well for me until now ;-) -- Enrico
