Hi,

I tried to extract a zip file that created on Hebrew Windows on Ubuntu 8.10, Hebrew locale.
The extracted files got Russian names...

Solved this way:
 unzip -O 862 -x ...

However:
* I didn't find any documentation for the -O option, just by trial and error (failed: 1255, windows-1255 and "ISO-8859-8" ).
* Is there any way to (automatically) identify the original Zip file encoding and environment (e.g. Hebrew on Windows) ?

Thanks in advance,
   Yinon
