Huh? FAT is the old DOS/Windows filesystem; Linux merely has an implementation of it for compatibility. Any weird encodings used by it have nothing to do with Linux. I assume this weird encoding is what NT uses to store Unicode when it's in VFAT backwards-compatibility mode; I don't know for sure. -- Glenn Maynard -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
