Codepage problem with NAS
Andi B.:
Sorry Ivan, forgot to answer your question. It's a self build NAS running Openmediavault which TTBOMK is based on Debian Linux.
The offending characters where saved there from a Windoze machine.

Okay another test with 'CODEPAGE=1004,850' in config.sys gave correct display with both SAMBA and FTP in LarsenCommander. But that breaks my desktop (Arbeitsoberfläche on German systems). Currently rebuilding my main machine from archive :-(

Hi Andy,
Since you built your NAS you should be able to check what codepage it is setup to use. I know that several linux distributions are setup to be windows friendly which includes using the standard windows codepages - the fact that codepage 1004 shows the correct characters confirms this.
Changing the codepage of the NAS may solve your problem, on the other hand it might not. If I get time tonight I will see about downloading openmediavault and see if we can find out what it uses to store file names. I do have to say that I haven't seen any problems with accented characters, French, Spanish or German on our test machine that has OpenSUSE on it.

Samba & VIO - the strange 'a' with skewed line (what's the correct English term for this?)

I believe it's an acute accent. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent which also shows the other diacritics.

Restore the backup is more hard as expected :( I have extracted the .zip while running cp1004 into a temporary directory. After switching back to cp850 I now can not even read that directory. Even plain cmd line booted from Alt-F1 is unable to read the root directory on the JFS temp partition. I can not even delete the directory from there.
Recreate from achive with ALT-F1 hangs for hours. Guess same problem while reading some directories/files.
Have to boot eCS boot CD to make some maintenance.
Which config.* is used for ALT-F1?
Plan is to change the codepage statement there to 850,1004, then boot with ALT-F1 cmd line, chcp 1004 and then delete the problematic directories/files.
