Japanese characters in filenames.

Post by Ryon »

I'm trying to catalog the files on my ever-growing stack of backup disks. A few of the filenames are in Japanese, and my WinXP system is configured to show the Japanese characters.

But the newLISP (directory) function returns ???????? in their place. Is there a way to convert these filenames to a list, and then back again? I don't care if they look like the original Japanese characters, but they do need to uniquely describe the file. I'm using both newLISP-tk v.1.26 and newLISP v.8.6.0, both with UTF-8 enabled.
