Windows sometimes has inexplicable file access problems, so I am not
sure whether folder names really are the problem. I would like to
know whether anybody with a traditional Chinese Windows either did
or did not have this problem.
I am also curious whether short names, such as displayed in the
fourth column of a `dir /x' command, can contain non-ascii
characters in a CJK windows.
