Is that wrong? What has unzip transformed the filenames into if it hasn't preserved them?
Ok, once again: Zip will write the names to the archive in whatever encoding the originating machine uses. However it will *not* record the encoding used. So in this case unzip will read the names encoded in say latin-2 (a single byte encoding) and will write them as utf8 (a multi byte encoding) which of cause will result in the gibberish the OP posted.
Isn't it rather than unzip simply dumps whatever filenames that were zipped, and that the terminal attempts to display those names as if they are utf8? Or does zip really convert from (for instance) latin-2 to utf8 ?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
