Re: Qshell jar zipped file has strange characters

[Tim Bronski <tim.bronski@xxxxxxxxx>]

CCSID is an IBM "term" but certainly not an IBM concept and as far as 
saying everything on the PC was ascii, well that's oversimplifying it. 
MS-DOS used code page 437 which as I said was what the original zip spec 
stated the file names should be in - and it still does - although 
there's an extension flag that allows an archiver to also include names 
in UTF8. Anyway I think we're beginning to start veering of topic so 
I'll leave it at that.
