Of course it doesn't use them. It has no unicode support.

When reading, I'd suggest following the suggested behaviour in the spec: 1. Try to read UTF8 filename from the EFS; if not present fall back to 2. Try to read extra fields filename as implemented by info-zip/abbrevia etc, if not present fall back to 3. current behaviour (reading filename as is) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
