Well, you're right, in this case dynamic table building will fail. But at least dynamic table solves problems with non-translatable characters. > Where is the problem with compatibility?

Well, what will you tell me to do with all my files on my EXT3 with russian names? How can i convert them? Well, we've just got used to koi8-r. Why can't i continue to use it? It satisfies me at 100%. AFAIK Linux is free system where everything is a choice. So why do you force me and argue that i'm completely wrong? -- Kind regards, Pavel Fedin
