Tuýrkish Character Set

Hello,

I looked at cp857 (Turkish) from microsoft site and saw that location of Turkish
characters in cp857 and iso8859-9 are not the same. For example the character 
158 (oct 236) in cp857 must be mapped to 222 (oct 336) in iso8859-9. This
cahracter is an S with a cedille below. Like Ccedille. So the table should be

\336\236

I prepared a table for Turkish characters. The table is

\246\320\247\360\236\336\237\376\230\335\215\375
\232\334\201\374\231\326\224\366\200\307\207\347

There are 12 characters to be mapped. I added this table to charcnv.c in the
sources. The file I prepared is attached with this mail. I also prepared a
codepage.857.

I compiled Samba with this new charcnv.c and installed. I set "log level=10" to
see if there is something wrong. And the followings in the [global] section in
smb.conf

character set=iso8859-9
client code page = 857

When I started samba, there is nothing wrong in the log file. Everything seems
good. That is it found the charset iso8859-9 and set and also codepage 857.

>From windows 95 I try to create folders with Turkish cahracters on a shared
directory on Samba.

Nothing changed. Again Win95 cannot see the newly created directory and in Linux
the name of the newly created directory is nonsense.

Am I doing the things correct? or missed something.

Thanks for your advise.
