Hi Quinn and Horst,
My customer is using Mac OS 10.3.8 and will connect to a PC or Mac
fileserver.
I am testing with Mac OS 10.3.8 against Windows XP (SMB-share).
A folder in the path contains an a-umlaut.
I tried with both char code 0x8a (MacRoman) and 0xe4 (Win-1252),
but neither did work!
The code works if the path contains ASCII-chars only.
I am using this API:
OSStatus FSPathMakeRef (
const UInt8 * path,
FSRef <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/File_Manager/file_manager/chapter_1.5_section_38.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/FSRef> * ref,
Boolean * isDirectory
);
Does FSPathMakeRef perhaps take UTF-8?
Regards,
Magnus

You're going to have to provide a lot more detail for us to be able
to help out. Where do these characters emanate? What sort of APIs
are you using to access the server? What does the overall data flow
look like? What constraints do you have about your product (Mac OS
X-only?, and what version?)?

Hi Magnus,
a shoot in the dark, despite Quinn's very valid points.
Could it be as simple as different character encodings? The glyph for,
say a-umlaut, uses a different code on Mac OS (in Mac Roman that would
be 0xae IIRC) and Windows (assuming Windows CP1252 this would be 0xc4).
HTH,
Horst
