They should. I did see in the list the umlaut characters in the filenames
so I asume the filenames with boxes has been on FAT before the file was put on NTFS.
Also it can be the newsreader wasn't able to handle UTF8 at grabbing the news.

Don't try to hard. It are the others that misbehave the character set
Seen webservers telling UTF8 and page iso8159-1 or -15 and reverse.

Also in the list of filenames some does not ave a leading date.
Are they realy whitout date else I asume in the filename there is a character
that does trigger a CR. Maybe that is the trouble for ls, wc and gambas with those.
