I imported from a Redhat 9 system many files created by vi and

the bottom of the Konsole/XTerm/Terminal, there is a message saying "converted".
I don't know if there's a connection. Both the message and the failure to
properly display the simplified Chinese happen regardless of the simplified Chinese
encoding that I choose in the terminal's preferences. Any ideas/suggestions anyone?
What do you get when you type....
file filename ?
I don't remember, but I think in the Fedora 9 days Unicode may not have been the
default. The encoding you have may be GB2312.
You can try running....
iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8 filename > filename.utf8
and then vi the resulting file....
