FWIW, I verified that this problem does not manifest itself on Linux, using the current scripted difftool. Peter, what actual diff tool are you using? Since these filenames work fine with "difftool -d" on Linux, it suggests that this is either a tool-specific issue, or an issue related to unix-to-windows path translation. -- David
