I speak French, so I think that I can't use Revolution, aaaaargh.

[Andre Rombauts]

I'm also a French speaking user. I never used accent in files names and
don't find this is a major problem at all. Of course if this can be
corrected easily I don't see why it shouldn't: there numerous languages with
special "non-english" characters...
