ah! That may be the (only) problem that my patches produce: Even if a
resource can be shared by f.e. "net use x: \\sörwa\schär", it is viewed
incorrectly by "net view \\sörwa" though "net view /domain:domäin" works
perfectly showing sörwa with the correct umlauts. This problem only
occurs under WinNT, not on Win95 or Win98.

I did the patches in March but waited for a solution on the above problem.
Well, maybe we will have umlaut support soon? :-) Are there any
RPC-NT-Unicode translations available yet? Information on this anywhere?

ok, let's put it there.
