Strange. This is the output on my W2k machine:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
lw@SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ touch test-äöüß
lw@SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 lw Kein 0 Jan 4 22:38 test-????
lw@SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -lN
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 lw Kein 0 Jan 4 22:38 test-äöüß
lw@SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls --version
ls (GNU fileutils) 3.16
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The same happens on my Win98 PC.
Did you perhaps type "ls -n" instead of "ls -N" ?
Just an experiment: type "ls -b" and see if the "funny chars" are
quoted then.
lw@SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -lb

Bei mir funzts, Gerrit... ;-)
