The problem is that iso-8859-1 for example doesn't define chars in the range 0x80-0x9f; so, if the fs is tagged as being in iso-8859-1, those values cannot be used --> it is not 8bit clean. -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.stben.be/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
