Hi,

In Hungary we use the iso8859-2 codepage.

It seems, the OpenAFS client's smb server use
the iso8859-2 or the win-1250 codepage,
(i don't know exactly witch of them)
and the windows clients use the cp852.
So our country specific characters don't
appear correct in file names.

for example:
the file name contains
unicode 0x00ed	#LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE: =ED
then i see
unicode 0x00dd	#LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE: Y'
instead in explorer.

note:
=ED:
unicode:  iso8859-2:
0x00ed    0xed

Y':
unicode:  cp852:
0x00dd    0xed

etc .. etc ..
I have many sample.

This problem is the same with 9x- or NT-AFS clients.
What is the solution?

many thanks:
