Suppose i have a file with name "klausÄÖÜ": ls --version: ls (GNU fileutils) 4.0 (Lars uses 3.16; can this be the problem??) ls -b klaus\300\322\330 ls -N klaus??? You have mentioned the codepage: How can i change the codepage and what codepage must i use?? Thanks in advance, Klaus -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
