Anybody feel free to add their own single bytes charsets tables. Yes, it is a per-FS hack, but until iconv or something like will be integrated, some hack needed just to read CDs selling at nearby shop. > keichii@recursive:/usr/ports$ ls japanese/msdosfs/ Japanese etc. is _very_ different and needs tons of efforts even when implemented like similar hack, we currently talk about and limited to single bytes charsets only. We have almost full single bytes charset localization in the kernel/userland, so this step is next logical extention in that direction. I can't say something like about double bytes charsets like Japanese etc. -- Andrey A.
