Hey Maurice!

After viewing it at the TUXPOWER echo on Prism you hunch about it doing nothing
was correct.  The characters that happen to coincide between ISO-8859-1 and
CP1252 rendered perfectly but the ones that don't didn't.  It does help confirm
that to BBBS LATIN-1 in all likelihood is ISO-8859-1 even though it really
isn't.  ;-)

For the record here is the 'iconv -f cp1252 -t utf8' of the line of interest;

¿Que son estos? -> €    Š    š    Ž    ž    Œ    œ    Ÿ

Much better eh?

Life is good,
Maurice
