Thx for your support! > hi ... one of the reasons why few people use 'shell' chars or 'extended' char-set glyphs in their filenames is so all operating systems can read and interpret the information for display (in a sensible manner) for example: "_.:':._Counter-Strike"_.:':._"! m$.windows would bleat about that folder name because it has three (3) quote chars in it any of \ / : * ? " < > | are not permitted however ... it is possible to do something like: ,.+~](o)[=.. as a file or folder name with win32 - other operating systems may see it differently tho' the extended char-set is different in every font consider ... does everyone that has access to your FTP server use the *same* FTP program with the *same* font ? alternatively ... provide an HTML index page where you can use those extended chars as folder/filename links to normal filenames -- __ ___ ___ :::/ |_ | . ):: ::( (-| | | <::: :::\__|___|_|_\::
