Hi Topher, good to know you have the begin of a solution, great.

I'm currently working on a C external (mxj_wrap) which could solve both 
problems (long filename & accents)
by writing messages in a temporary bidirectionnal file.
Don't know yet if latency and shared access to the file will be a problem.
something that would look like the image attached.
A bit twisted but could be a good workaround.

But I have no time to work on this before the end of the month so if you 
think you can find a solution for Max 5, I'll give up
- though it's a good exercise (thanks to you I haven't written C 
externals since the release of mxj thanks thanks thanks !).

If I was coding just for myself then I certainly wouldn't care about 
accents & long file names
but as Finder & Max & Java are able to deal with them, why mxj couldn't ?
I'm aware this isn't a crucial issue, but in my opinion something to 
place in the todo list.

Thanks for your time

Léo (or Leo if your Firefox/Thunderbird encoding isn't set to ISO-8859-1 
;) )
