[Mono-devel-list] Locale / File Name Handling in mono

[Norbert Berzen]

Hi there,

I'm new to this list as I'm new to mono. So forgive me if my
questions are stupid or off topic.

1) Why did the call of 'setlocale(LC_ALL,"")' disappear in
   mini - in old mono there was one?

2) Why does the whole io-layer assume external file names
   being coded in UTF-8? This leads to problems, e.g., when
   using ISO-8859-1 coded filenames which contain german
   umlauts.
   Shouldn't there be some sensible conversion between
   external and cli-internal file names, or does any of the
   cli/cls specifications prohibit this?


Thanks in advance,
