Hi,

maybe a stupid question, but how do I find out, which codepage is the 
current??

I did copy a old folder from my old samba2 server to my new samba3 
server using scp and did :

./convmv -r -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 ../foo\ bar/

The output is:

mv "../foo bar/?"       "../foo bar/"
mv "../foo bar/hallebadk?pple"  "../foo bar/hallebadkpple"
mv "../foo bar/?"       "../foo bar/"
mv "../foo bar/?"       "../foo bar/"

But where are my umlauts??

Thanks once more for any hints!
