Sounds interesting.
Please mail them to me....and add the used datfile!

The thing is, there are two ways to store such characters in the zipfile: a wrong way and a correct way 8) So I need a zip which wasn't touched yet and tell me what you're doing to get the error.

I already tested your listed characters and they work fine. It could be that you got a bad zip in the first case where the character conversion gives something bad and while adding a file with correct conversion gets you the same entry...sounds a bit complicated but I remember there were bad zips in the net with wrongly stored chars...

anyway...send me a zip and dat and tell me exactly what you tried to do.

By the way....one of the ` ´ is reserved for internal use and can't be used...don't remember which one though...People should use ' anyway 8)
