Hi Benny,

Thanks for you answer.
Alas, there's nothing new there:

Saturday, April 10, 2004, 2:53:49 PM, you wrote:

locale-coding-system
iso-latin-1

(decode-coding-string (getenv "HOME") locale-coding-system)
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propri\202taire"

Meanwhile, I found some related messages around the web, i.e. :

  then:

but the link ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/run-1.0.0_tar.gz
seems dead for now, as well as 
ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/run/run-1.1.4.tar.gz
found in:

BUT,
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches/199901/msg00024.html
contains the patch !

I'm not sure it would solve the problem, and it appears to rely on
cygwin ... maybe there's a more direct solution....
