8. You have join to this mail a text file with the few characters that don't match. On Swat, it's easier. I use Swat from my win98 box. When I write a share comment with some characters, there are not translated properly inside smb.conf file. When I read my smb.conf file, I noticed that for example a cp1252 character like (0xC1) has been changed onto an ISO8859-15 character (0xD3) and when I read share comment under window, I read (0xD3) character. If I correct by hand the samba configuration file, I can read the right character with window explorer. Of course, characters match only if 8859-15 and cp1252 characters match ... Is it possible to set Samba and Swat with Unicode, to specify unicode=5Fmap for client and unicode=5Fmap for server and to base letter transcriptions between client and server trought Unicode ? Or is it possible to force value Client -> Server and Server -> Client ? Thank you Jacques note: when characters match between cp1252 and ISO8859-15 files, Unicode entries match too. --=====================_1042820539=_ Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="diff_8859_15cp1252.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable =23Based on iso8859-15 and cp1252 character text from: ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ =23------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =23 ISO8859-15 and cp1252 code have different values for the same Unicode =23------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =23 8859-15 UNICODE Linux Characters Name cp1252 UNICODE Win98 Characters Name 0x80 0x0080 <control> 0x80 0x20AC EURO SIGN 0x82 0x0082 <control> 0x82 0x201A SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK 0x83 0x0083 <control> 0x83 0x0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK 0x84 0x0084 <control> 0x84 0x201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK 0x85 0x0085 <control> 0x85 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS 0x86 0x0086 <control> 0x86 0x2020 DAGGER 0x87 0x0087 <control> 0x87 0x2021 DOUBLE DAGGER 0x88 0x0088 <control> 0x88 0x02C6 MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 0x89 0x0089 <control> 0x89 0x2030 PER MILLE SIGN0x8A 0x008A <control> 0x8A 0x0160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x8B 0x008B <control> 0x8B 0x2039 SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x8C 0x008C <control> 0x8C 0x0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE 0x8E 0x008E <control> 0x8E 0x017D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x91 0x0091 <control> 0x91 0x2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x92 0x0092 <control> 0x92 0x2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x93 0x0093 <control> 0x93 0x201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK 0x94 0x0094 <control> 0x94 0x201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK 0x95 0x0095 <control> 0x95 0x2022 BULLET 0x96 0x0096 <control> 0x96 0x2013 EN DASH 0x97 0x0097 <control> 0x97 0x2014 EM DASH 0x98 0x0098 <control> 0x98 0x02DC SMALL TILDE 0x99 0x0099 <control> 0x99 0x2122 TRADE MARK SIGN 0x9A 0x009A <control> 0x9A 0x0161 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x9B 0x009B <control> 0x9B 0x203A SINGLE RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUO TATION MARK 0x9C 0x009C <control> 0x9C 0x0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE 0x9E 0x009E <control> 0x9E 0x017E LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x9F 0x009F <control> 0x9F 0x0178 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS 0xA4 0x20AC EURO SIGN 0xA4 0x00A4 CURRENCY SIGN 0xA6 0x0160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON 0xA6 0x00A6 BROKEN BAR 0xA8 0x0161 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON 0xA8 0x00A8 DIAERESIS 0xB4 0x017D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0xB4 0x00B4 ACUTE ACCENT 0xB8 0x017E LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0xB8 0x00B8 CEDILLA 0xBC 0x0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE 0xBC 0x00BC VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER 0xBD 0x0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE 0xBD 0x00BD VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF 0xBE 0x0178 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS 0xBE 0x00BE VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS =23------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =23 Commun Unicode in the liste above. =23--------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =23 8859-15 UNICODE Linux Characters Name cp1252 UNICODE Win98 Characters Name 0xA4 0x20AC EURO SIGN 0x80 0x20AC EURO SIGN 0xA6 0x0160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x8A 0x0160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON 0xA8 0x0161 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x9A 0x0161 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON 0xB4 0x017D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x8E 0x017D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0xB8 0x017E LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x9E 0x017E LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0xBC 0x0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE 0x8C 0x0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE 0xBD 0x0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE 0x9C 0x0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE 0xBE 0x0178 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS 0x9F 0x0178 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS --=====================_1042820539=_--
