You might have to experiment to find the right code page for a French Language locale. If worst comes to worst, you could use a program like SED to translate the output for you. Something like the following which substitutes ascii 160 (0x0A) with ascii 44 (0x2C): xxcopy /ldtz /E /H /zs * | sed 's/\xA0/\x2C/g' > filelist Garry
