We have just added code to samba (and it has been given to the netatalk
people) for code-page synchronisation between SAMBA and Netatalk.
this is so that (for example) japaneses users can read each other's
filenames
and also for various european code-sets.
teh '(c)' symbol and others like that are a bit harder to handle
but it appears to me it might be handled in the same way..
What's the low-down Jeremy?
