I receives rar quire often from users: Linux and Windows alike. (So 'native' is a tricky concept.) I have never had the character set problem because I have been lucky. No one is using öäåÖÄÅ in file names. I would be curious for future reference to know if rar does indeed convert character sets in file names. Maybe it is not a rar-specific thing. Maybe it is the specific rar client at either end. It would be interesting to know which they are. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
