Size(KB) :  2


Hi,
Your problem seems to be exactly mine (see "Accentuated files and=20
directories" sent on july, 2nd. )
I have also found that some filename with special characters are correctly=
=20
copied (filename is unchanged), others are systematically changed, example =
:
filename P=E9rou is incorrectly copied
filename La_R=E9union is correctly copied ( same special character =E9)
Some directory names with special characters are correctly copied, others n=
ot.
Furthermore, the console output listing the copied files produces strange=20
characters instead of the special characters in the filenames.

In comparison, xcopy (as provided by windows XP) does the job correctly,=20
including the console output.

I have seen no answer so far. Maybe they are on vacation in a Greek island.=
