Yeah, you have to guess the encoding because the zip format predates international collaboration and so there's no meta tag within the archive that could tell 7zip which non-unicode encoding to use. If you change the user interface and region of your PC into Chinese, then 7zip will correctly extract your files without corrupting the names. ...Sigh It's really weird how little activity there is on this topic from other 7zip users.

sdas merge with asxxxx 5.0 How many person hours of work would this be?

Specific parts of ASxxxx were almost certainly removed at time of initial implementation, and that can be seen when comparing the SDAS manual with the ASxxxx manual. The functionality which which was remove corresponds directly with missing pages and sections of the manual. So this was done on purpose and there is some apparently undisclosed reason for it.

Here are three work-arounds for this problem, since 7-zip does not offer international language support (codepage selection) from the GUI. 7-zip queries Windows for codepage and therefore you would have to switch Windows into cHiNeSe if you wanted to do this natively! The problem appears any time you want to extract a zip file which is NOT in UTF-8 format, on a computer which has a DIFFERENT locale from the local in which the zip file was created. This typically happens any time you open a zip file...

This typically happens any time you open a zip file fom a foreign language country which does not use your base character set AND is not UTF-8 encoded. EXTRACTING GBK ENCODED FILENAMES:...
