Re: directory-files function - strange bug

[Deric Bytes]

The code worked on my other machine which used 1252. Also it ran when the file 
was on the C: drive but not other positions. As mentioned earlier I pasted the 
foreign accent into emacs and pasted back into the filename and it worked, so 
obviously some conversion of the character took place. 

When I viewed the file in cygwin the – was shown as –??.

What is strange is that it worked on my c: drive and not my f: drive. I 
returned it to my c: drive to test if it had undergone a conversion but it 
still worked on the c: drive. I have changed all files with accents, as I do 
not generally use them. I can get back to working again.

thanks for your help.
