Of course, the Russian names were given under Windows - where else? ;-)
However, I don't believe that Sun just gave up to support localized file names
- it is unlikely that I'm the only person who needs it :-) Moreover, it
includes 6 (!) different Russian encodings and there are quite a few parts in
the documentation where they explain how to set up support for Cyrillic input,
etc. I do not see complaints about the lack of support for Russian file names
on the Web either. So I tend to think that there is something wrong with my
system. By now I only used my Flash card to exchange files between different
OSes. Today I inserted a CD and found out that the problem doesn't concern this
carrier: I was able to see Russian files burned to the CD, copy them to a
solaris partition and open with text editors. I verified that I can save a file
with a Russian name using Star Writer. However, I'm unable to copy this file to
my Flash card - I get the "Wrong parameters" error. So the problems seems to be
related to USB Flash drivers only. I'm stuck at this point.
