unfortunately there also is letter a with combining dieretic - and it is used by MacOS The mac seems to prefer decomposed characters in other contexts as well, so in my everyday job I used to have fun with product catalogues from a few companies. Depending on the computer used for adding / editing a productthe relevant field could be iso-latin-1, utf8 normal, or utf8 decomposed >> Said that, having such chars (non ASCII) in file names, I count as a bad >> idea. I usually try to avoid whitespace and accented charactersin filenames, to be able to use ssh and scp without much hassle, but I am not the user in this case. Now, if I look at a music collection (stored as folders with mp3 files for the tracks), I would really prefer "Einstürzende Neubauten" over Einstuerzende_Neubauten Regards Wolfgang >>
