Well as a non CJK native it seems to me that it would make sense if \ and ~ as normally seen on a European's screen mapped to same Unicode code point as the characters normally used in japan for that. So if I say "C:\Foo" in my perl and "translate" to euc-jp it should not change! - Dan will _see_ C:„Foo - but he is used to that. Where as if it gets mapped to the thing that looks like a '\' then OS may not see it as a directory separator. -- Nick Ing-Simmons http://www.ni-s.u-net.com/
