I suspect that this may be difficult to assess for Graeme if he 
doesn't know Russian. ;-)

As a side note related to Graeme's e-mail, French and German should 
be obviously supported properly if using the "western" charsets, so 
no wonder that this worked.

Finally, please, note that only the latest Info-zip beta (!) versions 
of zip and unzip (specifically, zip 3.0 and unzip 6.0 betas) support 
Unicode paths, so zip archives may not be the best candidates for 
this test. Other zip and unzip implementations may or may not already 
support Unicode paths even in released versions, but Info-zip 
implementation is certainly the most common one on many platforms 
(all Unix/Linux for sure). I'm not sure about situation with other 
archive formats (I believe that Unicode is supposed to be supported 
with RAR, although I have no idea whether that applies to e.g. the 
Linux version of unrar too).
