Some might be dupes, some might be done already. +UNICODE: +- BeOS: uses UTF-8 internally in the OS, so that's already done. +- PocketPC: uses UCS-2 internally in the OS, and we're currently converting to + and from ASCII. Need to change this out. +- Windows: Can use Unicode, but might only allow "codepages" ... Use + GetProcAddress() to find Unicode entry points on WinNT-based + systems, otherwise try to use a sane codepage. +- Mac Classic: apparently supports _something_, but I might just write it off + as a loss. +- OS/2: Codepages. No full Unicode in the filesystem, but we can probably make + a conversion effort. +- Linux: uses UTF-8 internally, so that's already done. +- Mac OS X: uses UTF-8 in the Unix layer, and is smart enough to convert + internally when needed. +- DIR: just pass UTF-8 strings through to platform layer. +- GRP: No Unicode (only 12 bytes for filename, 8.3 format). Legacy format. +- HOG: No Unicode (only 12 bytes for filename, 8.3 format). Legacy format. +- LZMA: Uses UTF-8 internally, so we're good to go. +- MIX: only stores filename HASHES...this driver is going away. +- MVL: No Unicode (only 12 bytes for filename, 8.3 format). Legacy format. +- QPAK: Only has 56 bytes for a path, but we can just treat these as + UTF-8 and be done with it. +- WAD: No Unicode (only 8 bytes for filename). Legacy format. +- ZIP: Uses UTF-8 internally, so it's good to go. + +Stuff: +- Rename win32.c to windows.c ... it should work on Win64. - Other archivers: perhaps tar(.gz|.bz2), RPM, ARJ, etc. These are less important, since streaming archives aren't of much value to games (which is why zipfiles are king: random access), but it could have uses for, say,
