Yes :-)
If you do not, you will get Japanese (and other language version)
Windows 98 from MSDN Professional Subscription with Asian language
pack.

The result is correct.

Thanks.

Basically Yes, but there may be bugs which occur under particular
charset environment.
And if you can get samba-2.0.9-ja-1.0 or later, you can use
smbchartool placed in examples/smbchartool to convert between HEX/CAP
and EUC/SJIS (smbchartool in samba-2.0.7-ja-2.2 or before has a bug in
CAP conversion).

For example to convert EUC filenames to HEX filenames in /tmp/a, type:

 % smbfnconv -a euctohex /tmp/a

smbfnconv, written in miura at samba.gr.jp is a perl script and does not
use any other libraries (except jcode.pl including smbfnconv
package). So it will work well on your machine. 

Sorry for its document, smbchartool.html is written in Japanese
only. If you are interested in this, I will translate it in English.
