Post Filename encoding in archives from windows

Hello,

I got a bunch of personal archives (7z, zip, tar), made under Windows (2k, xp) that I would like to extract in openSUSE. Problem is that once extracted, accented characters are obliterated. Järvi becomes J??rvi.

I suppose it has to do with character encoding. I looked at convmv command, but it won't work (Your Perl version has fleas #37757 #49830
wrong/unknown "from" encoding!) and seems to be a very cumbersome way if you have more than 2 files.

Within an mp3 file, the ID3 tags are impeccable. Only filename gives problems.

Any easy way to fix this when accessing the archive?
