Hi Thomas,

That is the specification, but on the other hand it is possible to create
files with special characters with GEMDOS functions.
Actually all my files with Umlauts have been created on the Atari ST
itself through Atari applications (e.g. 1st Word Plus) and not on the host
system. And all these files work if I use a harddisk image. In my view the
user experience would be more consistent if the GEMDOS emulation
would support it too.
