how to retain text using pax
I have a .tar file consisting of text and binary files. I ftp'd the .tar file using ftp binary.
when I did the pax to unwind the tar file, I noiticed that the text files were encoded in binary.
**How would I retain the text characteristics of the ascii text files, while also keeping the binary characteristics of the binary files?
thanks
mike

make_unicodemap
MAKE_UNICODEMAP(1) MAKE_UNICODEMAP(1)
NAME
make_unicodemap - construct a unicode map file for Samba
SYNOPSIS
make_unicodemap codepage inputfile outputfile
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
make_unicodemap compiles text unicode map files into binary unicode map files for use with the internationalization features of Samba 2.2.
OPTIONS
codepage
This is the codepage or UNIX character set we are processing (a number, e.g. 850).
inputfile
This is the input file to process. This is a text unicode map file such as the ones found in the Samba source/codepages directory.
outputfile
This is the binary output file to produce.
SAMBA UNICODE MAP FILES
A text Samba unicode map file is a description that tells Samba how to map characters from a specified DOS code page or UNIX character set
to 16 bit unicode.
A binary Samba unicode map file is a binary representation of the same information, including a value that specifies what codepage or UNIX
character set this file is describing.
FILES
CP<codepage>.TXT
These are the input (text) unicode map files provided in the Samba source/codepages directory.
A text unicode map file consists of multiple lines containing two fields. These fields are :
o character - which is the (hex) character mapped on this line.
o unicode - which is the (hex) 16 bit unicode character that the character will map to.
unicode_map.<codepage> - These are the output (binary) unicode map files produced and placed in the Samba destination lib/codepage direc-
tory.
INSTALLATION
The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
It is recommended that the make_unicodemap program be installed under the $prefix/samba hierarchy, in a directory readable by all, write-
able only by root. The program itself should be executable by all. The program should NOT be setuid or setgid!
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of
Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
