NCPFS can't handle extended characters.

I found a bug in NCPFS that I haven't the time to fix right now.

Here's the problem: if a file contains an extended (Charcodes 128-255) character, especially ` (or a even worse, an word converted ' (curled apostrophe) NCPFS goes butter side down on the directory listing.

It doesn't hand the machine, but it does cause some serious issues on our network, is there a way to make NCPFS understand extended characters in file names?

I would appreciate this being patched.

I'll get round to it post-exams if nobody else does.
