Compiling a "mkdir" external on Windows

Stephane Letz's icon

We are trying to develop an "mkdir" external on Windows to create directories from a given pathname. It seems that strings are encoded in MacRoman and have to be converted in a suitable encoding on Windows like Windows Latin. Is there any function available to do that in the Max framework? Or does anybody has already developed a similar external (better with source code...) on Windows?

Thanks in advance

Thanks. But will this help for the character encoding issue?
