I'm glad it works (thank you for testing, Tommy!) In the xPack distribution, the Windows archive is created with Linux `zip`, which, I guess, is pretty portable. > Personally, as things stand, I don't really see a compelling case for > removing or renaming (to ASCII (or ANSI?) only) such files - or unilaterally > removing content from them. I agree. According to my tests, I never had problems unpacking the archives, so, as long as keeping the non-ASCII names is not harmful in any way, I see no compelling reasons for removing them. However, personally I think that avoiding non-ASCII names is a matter of courtesy, allowing users to enter the names on any common keyboard. Regards, Liviu
