Sorry, I don't know who compiled those binaries, or from which version of=
=20
Box. As far as I know, 8-bit and Unicode characters work inside the Box=20
libraries themselves. I can't speak for readline and editline.

Presumably the problems you're having are with the bbackupquery command?=20
In that case, please could you try using the same commands on the command=
=20
line of bbackupquery to see if that works? That should determine whether=20
the problem is in Box Backup or in readline.

If you need more help, please could you provide specific examples of what=
=20
doesn't work, and what error messages you get, so that we can try to=20
reproduce the problem?

Cheers, Chris.
