Whistle (www.whistle.com) added ISO code support for
netatalk and SAMBA so that our products (in Norway actually)
can exchange files between PCs and MACs and see the same name on both.
As teh SAMBA co-ordinator works for us teh samba patches ar enow part of
the mainstream samba, but teh netatalk patches are not yet integrated.
send me email if you want the changes (relative to 1.4b2(approx))
I may need some days to get them together however. as everyone is away for
holidays.
The advantage with these patches is that they interact perfectly with teh
samba codepages of the same name :)
