IMPORTANT NOTE: Total Commander 7.0, 6.54(a), 6.55(a) and 6.56 were developed in
parallel.

supports it)

subdirs!
- Rename Unicode file names in place
- Show tip windows with Unicode names
- Show warning message the first time the user enters a dir with file names from a
different codepage (can be disabled)
- If the user hasn't chosen a default font, use "Microsoft Sans Serif" instead of

all operating systems)
