What would be a "reasonable" value for the LANG environment variable?
(UTF-8)
Thank you,

Stefan, I agree that is a known issue with non-ASCII filenames when in a
mixed Mac/Windows environment. However, that's not the error message Dieter
reported. Rather, the "Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding"
message usually indicates that the LANG environment variable has not been
set to a reasonable value for the system in question.
