Hey mark!

 ml> it looks just like quoted above ;)

If indeed it is CP437 then it looks nothing like it is quoted since they are
utf-8 characters to a capable editor.

 ml> 4bytes 2bytes 2bytes 2bytes 2bytes 3bytes 3bytes 2bytes

Nope.  The first one (Euro symbol) is 3 bytes and the rest are all 2 bytes with
the leading byte - I wish they would have called it the masterbyte
:::snicker::: - all being 0xc5 which makes them part of the Latin Extended-A
characters.  0xc5 is a box drawing character in cp437 (aka LIGHT VERTICAL AND
HORIZONTAL) and you should see exactly 7 of them if indeed your golded is cp437
wrapped.

Life is good,
Maurice
