Hi everybody,
I encounter a problem which is likely related to
Filipe Martins's : [h-e-w] A small bug in NTEmacs
In my case, this is about HOME, which is, on my
French Windows XP home edition,
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propriétaire",
since I took its value from %USERPROFILE%
("Propriétaire" is the name of admin when Windows is installed.
I changed its user name to "Michelle" to avoid accents, but it didn't
change %username% nor %userprofile%)
But emacs, when started with runemacs utility,
thinks it is "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propri\202taire"
I tested various coding systems but couldn't find what
conversion what used.
-----------------
<lispinteraction>
; What is used as "~" when emacs is started with runemacs
(getenv "HOME")
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propri\202taire"
; When emacs is launched directly, i get:
; "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propri\351taire"
; which leads to my real profile directory.
; this is set par Windows
(getenv "USERNAME")
"Propri\202taire"
; what %USERNAME% really is (:
(setq user "Propriétaire")
"Propriétaire"
last-coding-system-used
iso-latin-1-dos
(encode-coding-string user 'iso-latin-1-dos)
"Propri\351taire"
(encode-coding-string user 'latin-1)
"Propri\351taire"
(encode-coding-string user 'iso-2022-7bit-ss2)
"Propri.ANitaire"
(encode-coding-string user 'raw-text)
"Propri\201\351taire"
(encode-coding-string user 'utf-8)
"Propri\303\251taire"
(encode-coding-string user 'latin-9)
"Propri,Ai(Btaire"
</lispinteraction>
-----------------
I wouldn't like to change my HOME environment variable,
since I think other GNU, or other programs use it.
For now, my emacs personal files stay in
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Propri,taire" ...
isn't that ugly !
Maybe a fix could reside in runemacs.c ?

Thanks in advance,
Michelle
