# I should have posted this message to this list from the first.
I made a patch to cygwin1.dll to support UTF-8.
It allows you to use all of characters and file (or path) names
allowed in Windows, while keeping binary-compatibility with the
current Cygwin. It is fairly perfect except for lack of locale
support etc. So it may remind you of the good old BeOS. See:
