Ignoring syntax nits, what is the point of reviving codepage 437 and mixing it with UTF-8 ? Folks outside of Fidonet / UK / US often use(d) codepage 850 or rather 858 instead of 437. The same audience also uses 1252. I consider 437 as obsolete unless I desperately need as much box drawing characters as can be squeezed into a single "codepage" - but that is not the case for doing something with ZIP files ?!? Are the length considerations as they should be ? An unlimited number of slash separated folders ending with a filename and optionally starting with a language tag, each segment up to 254 characters, is that how the ZIP format works ? Frank
