I did look into the utility *convmv* and tried it using a variety of source encodings -- jis, jis7, sjis, shift_jis, iso-2022-jp. None worked. :(
convmv -f EUC-JP -t UTF-8 *
Any ideas? I am sure UTF-8 will be much better, but I really need to be able to restore from this archive first.
Perhaps part of my problem is that I have no idea what the source encoding would have been on the SuSE 8.2 Pro system. I did do the entire installation in Japanese, so it kept the default for Japanese, I imagine.
Then the source encoding to use with convmv should be EUC-JP.
I really want this new SuSE 9.1 environment to work.
