True, but you'd get the same problem on Linux, i.e. it's basically assumed that the same encoding is used across the whole system (and UTF-8 is the only sensible choice for that, except in limited circumstances). That doesn't need to stop Cygwin from doing better, though, as of course it does with filenames already.

(getpwuid, getpwnam, getlogin, ...) Makes sense, me thinks.

Encoding problem
Under 1.7.0-063: I use the following code to remove files: find . -name .svn | xargs -L 1 rm -rf and the result is all file without Chinese code in the path are removed but others not. I guess maybe 'find' and 'xargs' or 'rm' didn't use the same encoding make those problem. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
