SYMPTOMS
========

Using Netsetup.exe to create a server folder whose name contains international
characters creates an incorrect filename.

CAUSE
=====

Netsetup.exe incorrectly translates international characters entered in the
Server Path dialog box. For example, attempting to create a server folder with
the name "elan" (where the "e" has an acute accent mark) results in an unusable
directory named "_lan."

RESOLUTION
==========

Do not use international characters when you create server folders with
Netsetup.exe. After you exit Netsetup.exe you can change the server folder name
to include the characters you want.
