I know that some commercial OS have I not suggest to have two directories, you can still have one directory but with suffix which indicate encoding of stored files instead of indirect assumtion for them. Autoconversion programs must be fixed to handle such simple case. In current situation there is no way to determine encoding of stored files from outside since encoding tag not presend in the file bodies, so EUC encoding must be hardcoded into all programs. What happens if we switch to UTF-8? -- Andrey A.
