-This class converts file names between filesystem multibyte encoding and
-Unicode. It has one predefined instance, {\bf wxConvFileName}.
+This class used to be used for defining the class instance
+{\bf wxConvFileName}, but nowadays {\bf wxConvFileName} is
+either of type wxConvLibc (on most platforms) or wxConvUTF8
+(on MacOS X). {\bf wxConvFileName} converts filenames between
+filesystem multibyte encoding and Unicode. {\bf wxConvFileName}
+can also be set to a something else at run-time which is used
+e.g. by wxGTK to use a class which checks the environment
+variable {\bf G_FILESYSTEM_ENCODING} indicating that filenames
+should not be interpreted as UTF8 and also for converting
+invalid UTF8 characters (e.g. if there is a filename in iso8859_1)
+to strings with octal values.
