This bug report should have been attached to bug 10, because it is probably related
to it.

I don't understand the forum comment:

"Maybe it makes sense to store program settings in the catalog winff? At least optional?"

> I don't understand the forum comment.

Bad English, sorry. I meant move settings-folder from %userprofile%\appdata\roaming
\winff to c:\program files\winff (not multiuser version).

Sorry, but if I could have the complete source code, I could look where the problem
occurs (exact execution line). I think it's at some place where the path location is
get from Windows (in Ansi or Unicode/WideChar) and then next routine uses it as OEM
or in a bad conversion (to/from Ansi/Unicode).
