I just tested the CVS (buil on 2009-04-23). It now can open a file with Chinese name and under a Chinese subdirectory without errors.

However, I encounter another error. When I use [File/Open Data] and choose a "recently" opened file. An error occurs (both with  Chinese name and under a Chinese subdirectory). It reports that
"Couldn't open file C:/.../coeffs1.gdt"
(As shown in the attached PDF)

After several testings, It is obvious the gretl mis-specifies the path when there are some Chinese characters in the subdirectory as well in filenames.

I also found this error only occured when I quit gretl and restart it again. That is, I can open and re-open (choosing from recently opened files list) the file with Chinese names or under a path with Chinese name without any problems if I did not quit gretl.

I also attached a debug information as follows (it seems not helpful since there is no further debug output when this kind of error is encountered)

Second try: I hope this should be fixed now.
