There may be an OS limitation in the Win95/98/ME series, but Win2K
handles strange filenames quite good. I just created a textfile which
name contained cyrillic, ISO-8859-2 and ISO-8859-1 characters mixed,
and Win2K's Notepad opened it without problem (I tried it on NTFS and
FAT32 partitions as well). FAR couldn't open it, however. Neither
Winamp. Applications are the culprits, IMHO.

We really don't have any enemies. It's just that some of our best friends are trying to kill us.
