This is different from what we've currently implemented, but may stiil be useful. > The current implementation of the useEFS flag simply allocs to > disable the creation of the UFS flag in ZIP entries, which are > UTF-8.

But if there should be one - say zlib on z/OS or some other strange thing, it will be good to have that option available, > My opinion would be to simply drop the possibility to inhibit the > EFS flag in utf-8 encoded files and to introduce a new flag allowing > to switch to utf-8 fallbacks (7-zip mode...). I'm fine with an additional flag that would encode not-encodable file names as UTF-8 (not sure about the name of the flag and I have a long standing history for chosing bad names), but prefer to keep the existing option for the completely orthogonal case of whether we set the EFS at all.
