Yes, quite true. However, my point (which I didn't make very clearly) is that some UTF-8 characters cannot be represented in Shift-JIS, so the extraction might fail. It'd be a nice feature if tar could optionally substitute a name that is acceptable to Shift-JIS, so that the user can at least get the data (albeit under the wrong names). _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
