spanish file names on a fat32 disk versus linux

[Alex Hunsley <lard tardis ed ac uk>]

I have set up a redhat 9 machine to dual boot to win98. I want to access 
the win98 disk (fat32) from redhat, and I can, but there is a problem: 
some of my files on the windows disk have spanish filenames that have 
non-plain characters in them (e.g. ñ), and under linux these filenames 
appear with strange characters where the proper characters used to be. 
Also, the files cannot be accessed from KDE (their icon appears with a 
lock symbol on it and you can't open the file). I've found way to rename 
the files (e.g. mv astr* astronomy.doc) but I don't want to have to do 
this for hundreds of files, so can anyone advise a way to fix it so 
linux can read these filenames?
I posted to comp.os.linux.misc (see 
http://makeashorterlink.com/?V50913426) and they had some advice about 
setting options like iocharset and codepage in my fstab file, but I 
tried these without any luck. Can anyone suggest any way forward?

thanks
