[M3devel] Windows, Unicode file names

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
OK, good, Win32 API dealt with inter-NLS (National Language Support) at ASCII and other formats level with NLS API.
But it appears to be have not been used for DEC-SRC WinNT port of Modula-3 (but for CM3, though it isn't compiled in elego servers, but here):

Thanks in advance

Daniel,
I can talk about many things, and most things Modula-3 are of interest to me. Once you start a topic, and I can understand what is it about, and it meets my interests - I'll be there.
Problem I met with filenames is nothing old. Windows can open files with filenames in ASCII and UTF-16. Everything else - you must check twice and do a workaround.
I've written here in hope I can get i to some fruitful discussion with people who understand this problem. My solution is a workaround and assumes filename is UTF-8 or ASCII. I would like to start discussion on this and work from there to more general solution.

Hi all:
I as I understood, thought you don't want to talk about compatible W 95 / NT distro of Modula-3.
But in turn you want to keep compatibility with older file name encodes.
I don't care that but if its useful anyway (because newer windows don't care at all either) I don't know know your problem was because it won't be able to be solved!
Thanks in advance
