They do handle it. It appears fine in my keterm&less, and there 
shouldn't be much trouble.
However, Win95 uses a lot of the dreaded Hankaku-kana
in their directory name, which fxxks up stuff. There is a Kernel patch
to automatically subsitute hankaku kanas into zenkaku ones, which
works pretty well.

I don't have the URL for that at hand. Wait till tonight.

But maybe I'm not addressing your problems here... What exactly
is happening? You're not refferring to everything turning to a
punc of question marks phenomenon, right?
