In a sense, it can be argued that Linux is more compliant to Single Unix Specification than (some) commerical Unix. Unix filesystem never has had the internal information about the 'encoding/charset' other than they're null terminated sequences of octets. When all we move onto UTF-8, it shouldn't matter. Until then, you have to rely on external information. Jungshik -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
