DOS 8.3 Name weirdness

I just discovered that the DOS 8.3 Name under Win7 can be longer than 8.3 chars and have unicode characters. I wonder if this is an artifact of my VirtualBox?

This is the filename.
Русский-Русский-Русский.txt

This is how it looks in the Info Panel:
Russkii.png
Note: Your version of XY will display "???????" in this case. Only my current BETA can display Unicode chars here.

Well, looks like it's simply an XY bug! :roll: So, forget it and wait for a fix.

Yep Don, I can confirm it's just you. Russian doesn't show up in 8.3 here on my config.

It shows as this in Windows 7 x64 [English]. No virtual drives on this computer.
