Problem witch czech character is a bit more complicated. :-) There are
plenty of encodings...

Today, there are three that we must take into consideration:

ISO 8859-2 - used by Linux (also known as ISO Latin-2).

Windows CP 1250 - it is used by Windows.

CP 852 (also known as Latin-2) - this codepage is used by Windows for
storing the filenames... I know, it looks really stupid, that Windows
is using two different codepages, but...  ask Bill. :-)

As far as I know, when I specify the options as I mentioned above:

codepage=852,iocharset=iso8859-2

Linux is then doing the conversion from CP 852 to ISO 8859-2, that is
natively supported by Linux...

BTW, I can look for the codetables of all czech encodings somewhere,
but I think it is in same way already present in the system... Maybe
something like "cp852.nls" and "iso8859-2.nls"...
