Are the characters you are interested in preserving available in UTF8? What is your locale or your filesystem's codepage in Debian? I think Mac OS uses UTF8 for everything. It might be possible, by extracting on a latin1 fs/locale, and re-tarring on a UTF8 fs/locale, to get a tarball with the right characters in the UTF8 charset. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/
