Subject: [netatalk-admins] iso filnames?

Hi!
Has anybody done any work to get netatalk to translate filenames to iso
characters instead of the default :nn hexadecimal representation? This
would help us a lot, since we use both macs and windows machines, as
well as unix workstations. For windows, we use use Samba w/ "character
set = iso8859-1". Is there something similar for the mac? Any ideas
where in the code this conversion happens?
You may think that this is not important, but asking a Swede not to use
å, ä and ö is like asking an American not to use a, q and j in
filenames. It just won't work. ;-)
WindowsNT does this smoothly, and I'd really like to see netatalk/unix
compare to it.
Thanks
Palle
