Re: Ada.Directories and UTF-8 encoding ?

[Michael Rohan <michael@zanyblue.com>]

Hi,

I raised this issue a while ago.  Using UTF-8 encoded names appears to work
with the current packages (on my Linux system) but the Ada standard really
needs to be extended to have Wide_ versions of various file, directory,
etc, packages.

Take care,
Michael.
