Not sure you can, other than converting the filenames. but then. The answer I got previously was that cvsnt does not handle the characters in file names. So my "theory" is that wincvs sent those file names in your windows native coding (non-unicode) and your RH server just stored the byte sequence on disk. RH uses unicode (UTF-8) which is a different encoding. Most non-ascii file names in other encodings are simply invalid when looked at with UTF-8 goggles. You get the same problem with Swedish, which is the reason I don't use UTF-8 yet since I need to be compatible with the native Windows encoding for Swedish. It's a problem that needs to be solved. -- robin
