Note: To properly display all Unicode characters in the output of a command, you must first set the environmental variable "ARCSERVE_UNICODE_DISPLAY_CMDL" to a value of 1 prior to running the command as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\cb>set ARCSERVE_UNICODE_DISPLAY_CMDL=1 

To view these Unicode characters correctly, you will also we need to redirect the output of ca_log after setting the environmental variable as follows:

C:\>ca_log -view activity.log >UNICODE_log.txt
