Samba and the euro symbol

Hi,
Sorry if this has been talked about before, I tried to check the archives, but
they have been down for a while and still are not working. I was wondering if
anyone knows anything about Samba supporting the euro symbol in file names?
In playing with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 as clients to Samba 2.0.6 I have
had no luck. The clients change the euro symbol (in file names) into a "?" or
"_" character before sending it to Samba over the network. When they send a
filename over the network to an AS/U server (or presumably an NT server) they
send Unicode and the euro character is sent intact. Since Samba doesn't support
Unicode it can't work like that for Samba.
I fear that supporting the euro symbol in file names with Samba may be tied to
supporting Unicode. I hope that isn't the case. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Marc Jacobsen
