Subject: [ruby-core:20662] [Bug #877] [win32] Ruby Standard Library (maybe smth else): Wrong Encoding in Files, Directories and Environment Variables

Issue #877 has been updated by Dmitry A. Ustalov.


Because the bug, described here, doesn't applies especially to Shoes:
many other specific applications (that works in Win32 and operating
with environment variables and with file system entirely) has a
encoding-misunderstanding problem.

I found a dirty workaround: application should place its own folder
into %CommonProgramFiles%/AppName, instead of
%USERPROFILE%/Application Data/AppName.

This method has one disadvantage: data, which stored by application,
is available to everybody. I'm sorry for offtopic.

Issue should be closed, thanks for your time, comments and tips.
