(Please forgive the possible double-post. I used the wrong email address and
the post was held for review. Not knowing if it would make it through, I'm
resending from the correct address.)

Can anyone think of why I might be having a path problem but only on Chinese
and Korean operating systems? (I don't yet know if it's Traditional Chinese,
Simplified Chinese, or both, if there is any OS distinction.)

For a simple way of describing something, I developed a "launcher" for a
client that reads a path from a pref file to launch an executable after
quitting the stub.

I assumed it might be a double-byte text issue loading in the pathnames.
Something like the semi-colon comment, or the #, :, or /? This is what the
relevant section of the pref file looks like.

;pathname to document or executable
#OS9_App_Path: folder/appname
#OSX_App_Path: folder/appname
#Win_App_Path: folder/appname

BUT, it allegedly works on a Japanese OS. (I have no reports of any other
double-byte language yet.)

Does anyone have any ideas? And/or, does anyone have a Chinese or Korean OS
(not a US OS with an international input model) that might be willing to
help with a test or two?
