In order to solve this issue, I'm thinking of embedding my own
windows-1252 to UTF-8 conversion table into the ssphys programm. Then I
would output UTF-8 encoded strings and everybody would be happy.
Is there any code for copy'n pasting around?

What happens if the codepage isn't set correctly? At least the ASCII

conversion process, like filenames, that have special characters e.g.?
I haven't looked closely at the output. I just noticed the warning
when I ran "ssphys info" against the names.dat file (the first step in
the Perl script) by hand. I wanted to make sure this wouldn't cause me
issues downstream.
Is this being done because the VSS files are in 1252?
Yep, that is at least what I expect. Isn't there also a linux client for
VSS? what does this one do?
VSS is a Microsoft product. I've never heard of them producing a Linux
client.
Could you try to use the 8859-1 codepage, since they are said to be very
equal
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Latin_character_sets_%28computing%2
9).
And yes, I wanted to avoid the dependency on libiconv.
Ok. The main issue I might expect is if someone used the quote
characters in 1252 in comments. But the VSS GUI client probably
doesn't provide an easy way to enter them, so I'm probably safe.
Perhaps a warning can be issued if characters in the "dangerous zone"
(0x80-0x9f) are seen in the input.
Here's the info on 8859-1:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1>
Note how 0x7f-0x9f are non-printable control codes (along with
0x00-0x1f).
