Looking for one or two people to try Sweet16 update



I've got a new version of Sweet16 in the works that among other things will include compatibility with non-ASCII file and pathnames by using UTF-8 instead of ASCII for pathname manipulations.

This is a substantial change, and needs some serious testing.

I'm looking for one or two people that regularly and extensively use non-ASCII characters in the names of disks, folders, and files, to do some intensive testing of the next version of Sweet16.

The odds are good that you'll run into some problems -- although the program is working great for me, I can't test this feature nearly as well as someone who uses a lot of non-Roman characters in filenames. "Problems" might be anything from it simply not working to actually corrupting your GS disk images.

I'd ideally like to find one or two people that use lots of files and folders in non-Roman scripts, such as Greek, Cyrillic, or any of the very cool Asian scripts.

If you'd like to help, and are willing to back up your images and take the chance you might have to recover them from backups, please post a follow-up to this message.
