Spriggsy, I'm really curious how your program will deal with this problem.
Once I make my code 4.0 compatible, I can test this out again and show it off. But my unicode stuff never had an issue with Asian characters. I actually got involved in Unicode specifically because I had lots of files with Asian characters in them that I wanted to be able to work with without having to rename them all.
As I already know, the DIR way is wrong for one reason. Some Windows operating systems simply have a different number of spaces in the listings and therefore it cannot be reliably used internationally. (we have tested this with Ashish long time ago) and Indian windows use different spacing than Czech windows, so was worked for me, worked not for Ashish and vice versa - what worked for Ashish worked not here. Problem was - different spaces count in output DIR text file in row.
