Hi Kleper,

I want to state that I acknowledge that this is a problem.  It is
completely unreasonable that my software requires that you read,
write, and even name your directories using the English language
character set.  I had thought that the most recent version of PerlApp
(the thing that turns my programs into Windows executables) had solved
some long standing problems with characters in the upper half of the
ASCII character set.  Clearly, that's not the case.

I will look into this again the next time I make Windows executables.
Sorry for the problem, thanks for your patience.
