          Yes, this is a consequence of using the Windows ANSI API instead of the wide-character version.  I don't really do much Windows programming, and I've never done any I18N work on Windows.  I'm not sure how much work it would be to convert VBinDiff to the W API.  I'd be interested in a patch if somebody wants to try.

The workaround is to rename the file so it can be represented in the selected codepage.
