It isn't true, nationalized Win95 versions actively use it. F.e. Win95 Russian Edition use Russian (CP866) names for many folders/files. There is yet one interesting thing: DOS national charset used, not Windows one. For Russian Windows charset (CP1251) is different with DOS one (CP866). So Win95 does special efforts to convert between charsets. -- Andrey A. Chernov <ache@nagual.ru> http://www.nagual.ru/~ache/
