In my favorites directory, I have several .url files which have been saved
with names containing extended characters.  (Registered symbol (R), trademark
TM).  From a command line these characters don't display properly.  I
cannot copy these files from the command line on Win95 (OK from Win2K) -
this tells me that maybe Windows is just broken ...

The djgpp images see them but can't get information on them.  For example:

ls (shows them, but characters substituted/truncated in display?)
ls * (gives the name, then ENOENT)

I see the same behavior with V2.03 refresh built ls, a several month old CVS
built ls; and same behavior on Win95 and Win2000.

Has this been noticed before?  I'm not sure if it's something we can work
around, but I thought I would pass it on.  Unicode characters?
