Using the short filename **might** work since it probably has only ascii 
characters (never checked this).

Are you using standard Delphi conversions or working with 
MultibyteToWideChar and WideCharToMultibyte directly?

If you use the style ES_OEMCONVERT in any editboxes, this might generate 
a conversion problem (never studied this).
