Hello, I have a file which I got from a zip file, unzipped with the unzip command. If I do ls on the directory from an X11 terminal or from the console, I see the name as xgespr?ch.xml. If I use emacs to view the directory, instead of the ?, I see a lower-case a-umlaut (which I know is the intended name). >From which I tentatively conclude that the file-name encoding is ISO-8859-1, rather than UTF-8. Are file-names supposed to be encoded on Linux as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1, or is it configurable? This system is FC5, but a more general answer would be appreciated if possible. Also, how does unzip interpret file names? I cannot see an options to allow trans-coding of the names to UTF-8 (I'm assuming the directory of the zip file is encoded as ISO-8859-1, but again I don't know - I'm trying to find out from the originator of the zip file what the file-name encoding is on her system). -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
