Re: Reading files with scandinavian characters in filename on Mac OS X.

Hi Zaphod,

I don't know anything about the problem with UFS, but you could try to  
read from HFS+ by using the ERXFile class from Project Wonder. It  
worked fine for me when I had to read filenames containing different  
kinds of accentuated characters, German umlauts etc from HFS+ file  
systems.
