Try mounting it with the codepage iso8859-8 (or windows1255 or cp1255) and then tar. I believe that tar saves 8bit file names, and IIRC I tried opening such a tarball with winzip on hebrew win98 and it worked fine. I also recall that I wrote abut this to linux-il, but I don't remember when it was. -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 972-4-829-3942, X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
