the files functions doesn't work correctly with diacritical characters

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Hi everyone,

I have this file scanner that does some file listings and which needs to 
compare outputs with a shell dir.exe command (in windows 2003).
The shell is too slow but it is the only one that shows me which files are 
DHSM based (offline storage off the main storage).

The problem i found is that the shell based dir output works correctly but 
the runrev "the files" functions doesn't.

The runrev output doesn't translate correctly the diacritical characters 
such as umlauts, or other german/french style characters.

Has anyone seen this and better resolved it? Is there already a bugzilla 
for this?

For the funny part, when i ask in rev if the file is there with the 
shell's file name output, rev does recognize it but i do a comparison of 
strings between
the shell and rev's the file output, they do not match!!! Meaning that the 
files functions is not compliant with windows?

The shell's codepage is 850 in case anyone wondered. Is there anyway to 
change the codepage of rev's output?

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards,
Xavier
